Chicken Recipe: Chicken Carbonara—Light Sauce Chicken

I love Publix recipes, because they are usually pretty quick and easy. This is one that I tried recently.

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen green peas
1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 slice bacon, chopped
1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup chicken broth (or white wine)
1 (15-oz) jar four cheese Rosa (or vodka) sauce

Prep

• Chop onion. Cut bacon into 1-inch-long pieces.

Steps

1. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper (wash hands). Place oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 3–4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan.
2. Add onions and bacon; cook and stir 5–6 minutes or until bacon is browned. Add broth; cook 1 minute.
3. Reduce heat to low; stir in sauce. Return chicken to pan and add peas, then cover; simmer 8–10 minutes or until chicken is 165°F. Slice chicken and serve.

Conclusion

This chicken recipe was pretty good. I couldn’t find the four cheese Rosa sauce, so if you make it with that sauce let me know how you liked it! I served mine with veggie noodles to get some extra servings of veggies in my super picky kids. :)
