Chicken Carbanara

This was so much better then I had thought it 
would be and the whole gang loved it.
Even my picky Max!!

So here is goes
Recipe:
2-4 boneless/skinless chicken breast-cut in bite size pieces
1 lb of whole wheat pasta(i used linguine)
4 slices of turkey bacon cut in bite size pieces
1 garlic clove
2 whole eggs beaten @ room temp or to lighten it up more use 3 egg whites
1/2 grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon  oregano

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook pasta according to 
package directions. In the meantime add your olive oil
and garlic to a large skillet, and cook chicken and bacon.
Reserve about 3 cups of the pasta water and drain pasta, deglaze the
pan with 1/2 cups of pasta water. Mix together in a small
bowl, eggs or egg whites, parmesan cheese, black pepper,
and oregano. Now add the pasta to the skillet
with the meats stir well, now  while the pan is on medium heat
poor egg mixture over pasta and continually mix. Mixture will look 
odd, now slowly add in the reserved pasta water to help make
the sauce have a better consistency. (i used 1 1/2 cups) 
once desired consistency is reached remove from heat and serve with
grated parmesan cheese!!
 
Enjoy!!
