The Easiest Chicken Carbonara (Ready in 20 Minutes!)
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/JF_ChickenCarbonara_3x2_13343-a07a622bf105475a9af7ed3580520d89.jpg "30 Days of Healthy Dinners Ready in 25 Minutes (7)")
This chicken carbonara has the classic all-yolk sauce, which yields a rich and creamy texture. For some carbonara recipes the residual heat and starch from the pasta are enough to thicken the yolks, but we prefer the double-boiler method to gently cook the egg yolks to a custard-like texture without the risk of overcooking them to a scramble.
