Creamy Chicken and Zucchini Noodle Carbonara with Crispy Turkey Bacon

This dish is enveloped in a creamy, egg-based sauce with a hint of Parmesan, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil, offering a comforting yet light meal perfect for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1 large Egg Yolk
1 medium Zucchini (spiralized)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a hot nonstick pan with a little olive oil, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and slice into strips.
In the same pan, add the turkey bacon slices and cook until it becomes crispy. Once done, break or chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create zucchini noodles from the medium zucchini. Lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in the pan with a splash of olive oil and minced garlic for about 2 minutes, keeping them tender but not mushy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and Parmesan cheese. This will form your creamy sauce.
Return the sliced chicken and crispy turkey bacon to the pan with the zucchini noodles. Remove the pan from heat, and immediately stir in the egg-Parmesan mixture, tossing quickly to coat the ingredients evenly using the residual heat to gently cook the egg.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
