Chicken Carbonara


Easy and very good.

2 packages rice, Uncle Ben's Flavorful Parmesan & Butter Rice
10 ounces bacon, cut in 1 inch slices
1 pound chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, sliced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas, thawed, drained
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved
3 green onions, thinly sliced

Cook rice according to pkg directions.  Cook bacon until crisp; drain off all but 2 tbs. of drippings.  Season chicken with salt and pepper as desired.  Add chicken, saute until seared on all sides.  Add garlic and cream; simmer until it begins to thicken.  Add peas, continue to cook until peas are heated through.  Stir in enough to thicken to sauce consistency.  Serve over rice; garnish with onion, top with cheese if desired.
