Creamy Parmesan Carbonara Chicken No Egg

Creamy Parmesan Carbonara Chicken is one of those recipes I came up with years ago when following low carb diets and this recipe includes BOTH low carb AND low fat options! However, I’ve included full fat + carb options also!

CARBONARA CHICKEN

Usually, a traditional carbonara sauce is made with reserved pasta water, eggs and parmesan cheese, all mixed through cooked/warm pasta to create a creamy sauce. Even though this recipe contains NO EGG, I’ve kept all of your favourite carbonara flavours for when the craving hits! Dying for a big, full bowl of pasta smothered in a carbonara sauce, I opted for something even better. Chicken. Beautiful, juicy golden chicken fillets, swimming in the most amazing creamy bacon ‘carbonara-inspired’ sauce. With this recipe, you can serve it with your favourite pasta, OR over rice or vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli or zucchini noodles go real well with this).

This may not be a traditional Carbonara recipe, BUT this creamy parmesan carbonara chicken checks all my carbonara craving boxes.

Some Tips:

— Dredging the chicken in flour is optional. For a LOW CARB version, dredge chicken in parmesan cheese before searing, leaving out the flour. Alternatively, coat with an almond flour/parmesan cheese mixture, using the same measurements in the recipe. — For a LOW CALORIE + LOW CARB version, sear the chicken without coating. — I use half and half to cut calories in creamy sauces. Half and Half is an American product blending equal parts whole milk and light cream. If you don’t have access to half and half, you can make your own with ¾ cup full fat milk and ¾ cup reduced fat cream. — You can substitute half and half with reduced fat cream or evaporated milk. For a full fat version, use full fat cream.
