Chicken Carbonara

Chicken, bacon and cheese...who could ask for more but then you add in some pasta and you have a delicious meal.  

Chicken Carbonara

1# chicken tenders

4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces, cooked and drained

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup Parmesan, grated

2 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup cream

2 tbsp parsley

8 oz fettuccine

Cook bacon pieces and then place them on paper towels to drain off the excess grease.  Cook the chicken tenders in the same pan and add in the garlic for the last minute of cooking so it doesn't burn and get bitter.  In a small dish, combine the cream, eggs and Parmesan.  Stir until completely mixed together.  Cook your pasta and drain (reserve 1/2 cup pasta water in case you need it).  Stir cream mixture into the hot pasta and then add in the bacon.  Cook for a few minutes until the noodles are coated (do not boil or else you'll have scrambled eggs).  Season with salt and pepper to taste and add in parsley.  Serve with chicken tenders on top and sprinkle some additional Parmesan over the pasta.
