Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
- 400g spaghetti 🍝
- 2 chicken breasts (cut into strips) 🍗
- 2 large eggs 🥚
- 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated) 🧀
- 1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛
- 4 strips of bacon (chopped) 🥓
- 3 cloves garlic (minced) 🧄
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
- Fresh parsley (chopped) 🌿
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- In a large pot of salted water, cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. 🍝🔥
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. 🍗✨
- Cook the Bacon & Garlic:
- In the same pan, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside with the chicken. 🥓🧄
- Make the Creamy Carbonara Sauce:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, grated parmesan, and heavy cream. Add a pinch of pepper. 🥚🧀
- Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked pasta to the pan. With the heat off, quickly pour in the egg mixture while tossing the pasta continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs. Slowly add the reserved pasta water if needed to make the sauce extra creamy. 🍝💦
- Add the cooked chicken, bacon, and garlic back into the pan, tossing everything together until perfectly coated in the rich, creamy sauce.
- Garnish & Serve:
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and more parmesan if you like (because why not?!). Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, cheesy perfection! 😍🧀🍽️
🤩 This Chicken Carbonara is the ultimate comfort dish—creamy, cheesy, and loaded with bacon and tender chicken! Perfect for a cozy dinner at home or impressing guests! 😋🔥
