The price of beef is too expensive for my college bank account, so recently I have been trying to find food to make with chicken. While searching through the recipe section of Pinterest, I stumbled across this amazing chicken carbonara recipe.

1-2 servings of spaghetti noodles

Directions

1. Cook bacon and set aside
2. Cook chicken in two tablespoons of butter with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Set aside while you work on the sauce.

Sauce

2. Add milk, half and half, heavy cream, chicken broth and flour to the pan with the garlic and whisk until smooth.
