Ingredients - 

Bacon, Chicken and seasoning - 

6 - Streaky Bacon Rashers 
1 Tbsp (20ml) - Olive Oil 
2 - Small Chicken Breast, Butterflied 
1 tsp (3g) - Onion Powder 
1 tsp (3g) - Garlic Powder 
1 tsp (3g) - Smoked Paprika 
Salt & Pepper 

Pasta & Sauce - 

350g (12.3oz) - Bucatini or Pasta of Choice 
1 Tbsp (14g) - Unsalted Butter 
2 tsp (10ml) - Olive Oil 
1 - Red Onion, Fine Diced 
6 - Garlic Cloves, Chopped
5g (0.2oz) - Flat Leaf Parsley 
1 Cup (250ml) - Chicken Stock
200g (7.05oz) - Creme Fraiché 
Parmesan Cheese or Pecorino Romano 
Flat Leaf Parsley & Basil To Serve 
Salt & Pepper 

Method -

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook for 1 minute less than the packet instructions. 

2. Add the butterflied chicken to a bowl, along with the oil, seasonings, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. 

3. Dice the bacon into medium-sized pieces. Place a pan over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until the fat has rendered and the bacon is golden and cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside. 

4. In the same pan over medium-high heat, add the Chicken and sear for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through (internal temp (74.c-165.f). Remove, rest for 5 minutes, and slice or dice. 

5. In the same pan again, back over medium heat, add the red onion and sauté for 4 minutes or until transparent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high, deglaze with chicken stock, and reduce by 1/3. Add flat leaf parsley and creme fraiché. Check seasoning, mix to combine, and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until thick. 

6. Add in the cooked bacon, Chicken and pasta and mix well. Grate in parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese and mix thoroughly. 

7. Serve in bowls and garnish with flat-leaf parsley, basil, more cheese, and cracked black pepper. Dig in.

Do you have a recipe book? If not, why not? Your recipes are amazing and se easy to follow

Indian here living in the UK and gradually learning to cook on my own. I regularly make your creamy garlic lemon pasta which is an absolutely amazing dish (even cooked it for my mother when I visited her in India...and she was over the moon).
Today I made this for dinner and, to be honest, it was the most delicious non-vegetarian meal I have ever had in my life! Chef, I consider you my teacher and thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching me how to cook.

I love learning Chef Jack's little hacks from being a working chef so long, like how he fanned out the bucatini.

[cuspsoftheoverworld]

Chef John has a rule for bacon that I follow, you wait until it foams which means the fat has rendered out. I have learned so much from you internet chefs. it makes SUCH a difference to see food professionally made! thanks so much 🥰

[klaeidascope]

Thankyou for the amazing recipe Jack, made it last night and love it!

[hollyross]

Omg Jack that looks absolutely delicious, I love a simple recipe that ready in under 30 minutes and using creme fraiche instead of cream brilliant idea most definitely going to add this recipe to my meal plan 🍝

[yulia]

I love how you timed this one. As much as I love cooking, it regularly takes me forever to cook dinner so I'll be sure to try this recipe out!

[mp-svcp]

Did this for my wife and I today. She loved it and I concur.

[stomp]

Your channel is slowly just steadily growing Jack! Keep up the amazing work I always recommend your channel to people I know :)

Am I the only one who is a little disappointed that he typically no longer whispers the amount of pepper cracks? It’s like he wants the whole world to know his secrets.

[AnnHopy]

This looks really good. I am unable to find Creme Fraiche what might I be able to substitute instead? Thank you.

[howardbaldwin]

Thanks so much for this easy and fabulous looking low fat and no alcohol recipe Jack. Another banger!!! Cheers from AKL, NZL.

[talitadimba]

Thanks Chef it looks divine, can't wait to try it with son's 😊

[Golden_Girl]

What cookware and ovenware do you use ?
Do you prefer non stock or stainless steel induction cookware ?

[Doreas]

If I'm unable to find Creme Fraiché, Can I subtitute it with Heavy Whipped cream instead? If so the same measurment amount 200g (7.05oz) . Thanks for sharing

[sammoony]

Does adding the creme fraiche to a hot pan risk making it separate? I've found that adding dairy like cream to a hot pan for a sauce risks making it curdle.

[markoenrico]

I enjoy every video you do and i save them so when I want one of your recipe i just follow your instructions and its always a great meal. Thank you

[tootalljoo]

I have a question. As someone whose family doesn’t eat pork, when substituting turkey bacon in for this (or similar recipes) where you’re meant to render out the fat, how would you replicate this? Since turkey bacon doesnt seem to produce nearly the same amount that normal bacon does.

[nargisden]

Amazing Dish. I'm Fond Of Cooking New Dishes. I Liked It Very Much. Also I Like The Way You Were Explaining. Lovely .

[wyrdlg]

Nice to see you using a lid, saves energy ;-) Will definitely try this one!
