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
- 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. - 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. - Add Garlic:
Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. - Make Carbonara Sauce:
In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese (if using). - 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. - Add Bacon:
Stir in the cooked bacon pieces. Adjust seasoning. - Serve:
Serve over zoodles or shirataki noodles—or enjoy as is! Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
