The first Italian chicken recipe is a rich, creamy dish that is best served with garlic bread and salad (and a big fork).
CHICKEN CARBONARA RECIPE
1/2 lb bacon 3 to 4 cups chicken, cut into strips 1 small onion, chopped 1 tsp homemade garlic powder 1 tsp homemade onion powder
Sauce 2-1/2 cups whipping cream 1 tsp homemade garlic powder 1 tsp homemade onion powder 8 egg yolks 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated (not powder) 1/4 cup fresh basil or 3 TBS dried basil kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 oz fettuccine or spaghetti noodles
In a large heavy skillet, fry bacon until cooked (not crispy); drain and set aside. Fry the chicken strips and onion in the bacon fat until meat is cooked through. Drain well. Discard the bacon fat.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta. (I always put a teaspoon or two of canola or vegetable oil in the water so the pasta doesn't stick together.) Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or dutch oven, whisk the sauce ingredients together and slowly heat to medium-low (no higher or the eggs will scramble). When the meat/onion mixture and pasta is cooked and drained well, add that to the sauce ingredients. Cook until it is thickens and season with more salt and pepper if you need to. Serve with a salad and crusty butter bread. So delicious.
If you are a mushroom lover, my next Italian chicken recipe is for you.
RECIPE FOR CHICKEN MARSALA
1/4 cup flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1/2 tsp oregano 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 4 TBS butter 4 TBS canola oil 2 cups mushrooms, sliced 1 small onion, roughly chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced
SAUCE 1-1/2 cup Marsala wine 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 1 TBS cornstarch 1/4 cup water
Pound out the chicken breasts until flattened. Mix the flour, salt, pepper and oregano together and place in a resealable bag. Place the chicken breasts in the bag and shake to coat evenly.
On medium-high, heat the butter and canola oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center; remove from pan and wrap in foil to stay warm. Sauté the mushrooms in the same pan until soft and tender. Add the Marsala wine, cream and chicken broth. Cook on medium until reduced a bit and add the cornstarch and water mixture. Whisk until thickened and place the chicken back into the skillet. Cook until heated through and serve with fettuccine pasta. A wonderful and easy chicken recipe.
This Italian chicken recipe has the best of both worlds; chicken and lemon.
HOMEMADE CHICKEN PICCATA RECIPE

Fry in the skillet until golden brown and completely cooked; juices will be clear. Place the chicken in the oven on a baking sheet to keep warm while you make the sauce. Bring the chicken broth and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk the cornstarch with the 1/4 cup of water and slowly add to the broth; whisking continuously until thickened.
