Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta bacon, chopped
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
4 cups shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken
2 ½ cups heavy cream, at room temperature
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or more to taste
3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain.
While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 4 minutes. Add pancetta and prosciutto; saute until crisp and brown, about 8 minutes. Add chicken and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg yolks, basil, and parsley together in a large bowl until blended.
Return chicken mixture to the stove over medium-low heat. Add drained penne and cream mixture; toss over medium-low heat until penne is thickly coated, about 4 minutes; do not let it boil or the eggs will scramble. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Transfer to a large, wide serving bowl and serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less butter and cream next time.

I'm not a fan of carbonara, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

I had a hard time finding guanciale, so I used pancetta instead. The dish still turned out great!

This is the best carbonara recipe I've ever tried! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and creamy.

I found that the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall the dish was still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken in my carbonara, but this recipe was still very good. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked al dente.
