Lemon Chicken Carbonara

This is something I just made up for dinner, so sorry if the measurements are not exact, but if you like to cook like I do, you'll get by ;)  Hope you enjoy, I couldn't wait to go home and heat up the leftovers for dinner!




Ingredients:
  • 3 bonelss/skinless chicken breads (split in 1/2 and cut in thirds)
  • Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • Butter/olive oil
  • 1 package chopped pancetta
  • Chicken Broth about 2-3 cups
  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4-1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Juice & Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Handful of Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 pound cooked pasta of choice (I used Barilla Protein Plus Angle Hair)

Directions:
  • Clean chicken, thin by cutting in 1/2 and then, cut each half in thirds (6 pieces per breast). 
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper & garlic powder on chicken to your liking.  Coat lightly in flour and shake off excess.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter and a little olive oil in a large frying pan.  
  • Cook chicken on both sides until browned.  Add pancetta and cook until browned as well.
  • Add chopped parsley and enough chicken broth to cover the chicken.  Simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Cook your pasta to desired texture and drain.
  • Stir cream into sauce and simmer briefly, add lemon juice, lemon zest and egg yolk.  Stir quickly.  
  • Put pasta into a large bowl, pour chicken & sauce over the top.  Add handful of Parmesan cheese and some additional fresh chopped parsley.  Stir to combine and serve!
