Chicken Carbonara Recipe

While I’ve always made the attempt at serving my family healthy foods, I’ve really taken a good, hard look lately at all of the ingredients in the foods we eat. I want to make sure that I’m always doing the best that I can for my husband and kids and when I realized that I couldn’t even pronounce some of the key parts of our food, I knew it was time for a change. This Chicken Carbonara Recipe is made with a few simple ingredients and I feel really good about every single thing on this plate.

The main dish of this yummy meal is the chicken and I was thrilled when I found it. NatureRaised Farms® prides itself in only using all natural ingredients in its products. They never use any antibiotics, never add hormones or steroids, and offer their animals a purely vegetarian diet. All NatureRaised Farms® products are even animal welfare certified by Global Animal Partnership. I simply love that NatureRaised Farms® Chicken is a wholesome product that is prepared with ethics, environment, and balanced nutrition in mind.

NatureRaised Farms® has some delicious recipes on their site and on their Pinterest page. This Chicken Carbonara recipe comes right from their site with one little tweak to suit my family’s taste buds. The original recipe calls for mushrooms but I chose to omit them because we aren’t a family that cares for mushrooms.
