Chicken Carbonara

Submitted by JanelleC

"The common bacon cabonara has quite a lot of fat with the cream and eggs that it uses. This is a fantastic substitute!"

This was a very nice dish, both my brother and I liked it, despite being somewhat picky eaters. I did alter the recipe slightly: I added the 1/3 cup of cheese to the chicken (as it was not described what to do with that cheese in the recipe) and added more water and cheese than specified to the chicken. I also added the finely chopped parsley into the sauce. I was going to add spinach to the sauce, but my plans were foiled when it turned out we didn't have any. This was (for me, at least) very easy to make, and I am very happy with the results I got. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe!

This was pretty good! The bacon added a nice touch, but to me the can of chicken soup was little to strong of taste, next time i will try more water! Thanks
