Creamy Chicken Carbonara with Peas
Savor this twist on a classic carbonara featuring tender chicken breast, whole wheat pasta, and sweet green peas, all enveloped in a silky, creamy sauce made from egg and Greek yogurt. Each bite brings comforting creaminess with a subtle tang, paired with the satisfying texture of perfectly cooked pasta and a burst of freshness from peas.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1/2 cup Green Peas
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain, reserving a little pasta water.
While pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the green peas and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and nonfat Greek yogurt. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine the drained pasta, chicken slices, and peas in the skillet. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the egg-yogurt mixture, tossing to coat the ingredients evenly. The residual heat will gently thicken the sauce without scrambling the egg. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to achieve a creamier consistency.
Serve immediately, enjoying the harmonious blend of creamy sauce, tender chicken, and sweet peas.
