Every once in awhile I like to make something new. Today I found this recipe and decided to go for it. So glad I did because it was was AMAZING!!!
Here are all the ingredients. We don't eat pork, so we used smoked turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. 
First thing we did was cut the chicken in half. If the chicken was thinner I would have left it alone. Cutting it in half helps us not over eat and cooks the chicken faster. 
I made a mixture of flour and parmesan cheese in a bowl. I also added salt and pepper instead of sprinkling it directly on the chicken. 
I dipped the chicken in the flour mixture until they were completely coated. 
While I was doing that, I had oil and butter getting hot in my cast iron skillet. 
When the oil was the temperature I needed I slowly added the chicken. 
I let it cook for about 10 minutes on each side. 
While the chicken cooked I chopped up onions and cut the bacon into strips. 
When all the chicken was cooked and set to the side, I added the bacon strips to the pan. It smelled so good at this point. ❤️ 
The recipe didn't call for this, but I'm super paranoid when it comes to chicken and it being cooked all the way. So I cut the chicken into strips. 
I placed the bacon on the same tray as the chicken. Less dishes is always better to me! 
I added the garlic and onions to the skillet. I basically just wanted the onions to caramelize. 
After the onions and garlic are soft I added my cream mixture. The recipe called for half n half but I didn't have that. So I substituted heavy whipping cream and milk. I doubled the recipe, so I did 2 cups cream and 1 cup milk. 
I let that simmer for awhile. After I noticed a few bubbles I added parmesan cheese. 
I used my hand mixer and mixed it all in. I also added some cornstarch and water to thicken it. I ended up getting it to thick and had to add a little more cream. 
I added the chicken and bacon once I had the consistency that I wanted. 
Got pretty close to going over. 
I let that simmer for about 15 more minutes.
@jeejee made garlic knots...oh so yummy!!!
Noodles and some steamed veggies were great sides to add.
I have to say it was a pretty great dinner! It wasnt hard to make either which was a total bonus! @dwells gave it a 9.5 rating.....which means I will be making it again! 😁
Hope you enjoyed this post. Heres the recipe I for the most part followed. https://cafedelites.com/creamy-parmesan-chicken-carbonara/

Looks delicious! Have you tried beef bacon yet? Since I stopped eating pork a while back, Lev 11, I found this to be an excellent alternative, much better than turkey. I had to go to a butcher shop to find it, since I go there for most of my other meats it is easy to get and if they don't stock it they will carve it right then and there to any thickness I want!
That's exactly why we don't eat pork @simms50. We have had beef bacon and love it! We don't buy it often because it's so expensive. But it is delicious!
You are right...it can be expensive at times. I can't get it every time but it is so good when we do! Can you find it at a "regular" store or do you have to go to a butchers? Also I can't even stand the smell of pork anymore and can't even imagine eating it ever again! Eating what the Father calls food is ALWAYS a good idea! :-D Shalom!!
You can find it at whole foods. I like the smoked wood that we use for this recipe. It's really good for being turkey. I was never a fan of pork bacon. Its always had a stinky smell to me. Yes I agree, eating clean is a great idea, not to mention healthy! Shalom to you and your family also!
That looks pretty fantastic! Having @jeejee in the kitchen with you seems to have been inspiring some pretty yummy collaborations :-))
I have always been big on cooking. Just not big on taking pictures and posting about it. @jeejee has been great! She is an awesome helper...I call her my soul sister!!! Haha. We are alot alike in how we do things in the kitchen, so it's been great having another set of hands!
You're too kind... it's your generosity that's gotten us through this Hurricane and madness!! ❤️
Looks tasty, too bad my wife is Celiac, so I need to do this recipe gluten free for her
I'm pretty sure you could find something that would work. @lenin-mccarthy.
Looks so delicious! :)
@zararina it was really good!
Delicious!
@jozef230 it was really good. We will be making it again.
Looks very good, never tried to make garlic knots before, will have to try it soon
@cryptospeak the garlic knots recipe that @jeejee made were AMAZING!!! Maybe I can get her to make some more and write up something on them. 😁
