Creamy Chicken Carbonara with Whole Wheat Pasta and Fresh Peas
Savor a lighter twist on classic carbonara with tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and fresh peas combined in a silky egg-based sauce. Each bite offers a balance of creamy texture and vibrant flavors, perfect for a satisfying meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (Dry)
1 large Egg
1/2 cup Fresh Peas
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg until smooth. This will create a creamy sauce when mixed with the hot pasta.
Return the drained pasta to the skillet over very low heat. Quickly add the chopped chicken, fresh peas, and whisked egg. Toss vigorously, allowing the residual heat of the pasta to gently cook the egg and form a silky sauce. Avoid high heat to prevent scrambling.
Season with additional salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
