Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
- Season diced chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and turmeric. Add to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Adjust curry powder to taste.
