High-Protein Chicken Carbonara
Sautéed chicken and crisp pancetta tossed with al dente spaghetti in a silky, peppery egg sauce for a comforting and savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz spaghetti
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 oz pancetta
1 large egg
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to crisp and render its fat.
Add the diced chicken breast and minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the chicken and pancetta.
Turn off the heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Fold in the baby spinach until just wilted and serve immediately with an extra crack of black pepper.
