Creating Chicken Carbonara is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the Pancetta: In the same skillet, add the diced pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

4. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the pancetta. Stir to combine, then remove the skillet from heat.

5. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.

6. Mix Pasta with Sauce: Add the hot drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and pancetta. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing to combine. The heat from the pasta will cook the eggs gently, creating a creamy sauce.

7. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

8. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

9. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan, if desired.
