Chicken Carbonara
Busy Creating Memories

This recipe was amazing.  It was simple and so much flavor.  I love that I could have pre-cooked chicken and bacon to throw in with it to make it a super simple dinner to make on a busy night.  The best part?  The leftovers were even better than the night we had it for dinner!!
