This is a very simple twist of italian chicken carbonara, without pasta because I can't digest most carbohydrates. I can have sweet potatoes and they taste very yummy in this dish. I use organic ingrediants wherever possible and naturally smoked bacon.
Ingredients
- 2
- chicken breasts
- 1 pkg
- bacon
- 1 large
- red bell pepper
- 1 c
- whip cream
- 2 Tbsp
- butter
- 2 c
- parmigiano-reggiano, grated
- 1 medium
- red onion
- A few dash(es)
- celery seed
- A few dash(es)
- garlic powder
- A few dash(es)
- black pepper
- 1 large
- yam / sweet potato
- 1 pkg
- mozzarella shredded cheese
How to Make Yam Chicken Carbonara
- 1Cook up bacon until nice and crispy. Put aside a tablespoon of bacon grease (it will be added into alfredo sauce). At the same time, cook up chicken. Tear up bacon and chicken into bite size peices.
- 2Cut up yam into bite sized peices, and either boil or microwave them until they are tender. I used 1 yam, but in the future I might add another for extra carbs.
- 3Cut up bell pepper and onion into small peices.
- 4Make the alfredo sauce by melting and stirring butter, tablespoon of bacon grease, whip cream and grated cheese in a small pot. Add more or less cheese to taste. I literally added a whole block of reggiano for a very strong alfredo sauce. Add garlic powder, black pepper and celery seed to the sauce, again more or less to taste.
- 5Toss all the ingrediants into a bowl and mix with the sauce. Then spread it into a casserole dish and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the onions and bell pepper peices are a desired tenderness.
- 6When it's done, spread the top of the casserole with shredded mozzarella and cook for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and then serve. I also added a little bit of shredded cheddar, which gave it that orange/yellow tinge on top.
