I’m absolutely sold to this chicken carbonara recipe! I love Italian food, but all the butter, oil and cream make it often high in calories. So I tweaked a healthy alfredo recipe that I found Showmetheyummy.
And it turned out fantastic: dreamy creamy and delicious! This recipe is super simple, packed with flavor, very creamy and has almost 40 g (!) protein per portion. Add pasta or shirataki noodles and you’re done. Enjoy! Macros (per portion, ½ of total)
