Keto Chicken Carbonara

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts (sliced or cubed)
  • 4 strips of bacon (chopped)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Zoodles (zucchini noodles) or shirataki noodles – optional for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon:
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside. Keep a bit of bacon fat in the pan for flavor.
  2. Cook Chicken:
    In the same pan, add a little butter or oil. Cook the chicken pieces until golden and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add Garlic:
    Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Make Carbonara Sauce:
    In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese (if using).
  5. Combine:
    Turn off the heat and slowly pour the sauce into the chicken pan. Stir constantly so the eggs don’t scramble—let the residual heat thicken the sauce.
  6. Add Bacon:
    Stir in the cooked bacon pieces. Adjust seasoning.
  7. Serve:
    Serve over zoodles or shirataki noodles—or enjoy as is! Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
