I had chicken and shrimp carbonara at that popular Italian-American restaurant chain recently, and it was absolutely delicious. I decided to re-create it at home, but the recipes I found online didn't appeal to me. So, I came up with this recipe on my own. It's fairly simple to make, and my wife said it was better than the original. Serve with breadsticks, an Italian salad, and your favorite white wine.

Ingredients

  • olive oil: 4 Tbsp (divided)
  • boneless, skinless chicken breast halves: 1 pound (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • garlic: 2 Tbsp (divided, minced)
  • italian seasoning: 2 Tbsp
  • large shrimp: 1 pound (peeled and deveined)
  • slices smoked bacon: 8 piece (diced)
  • linguine pasta: 1 pack (16 ounce pack)
  • ½ cups heavy whipping cream: 1 piece
  • ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese: 1 piece
  • egg yolks: 4 piece
  • salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • medium onion: 1 piece (diced)
  • Sauvignon Blanc wine: 0.25 cup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, 1 tablespoon garlic, and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
