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.
