Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s a complete dinner in one pan—no extra pots, no long prep time, and no sacrificing flavor. The Tyson® Meal Kit comes with everything I need, pre-measured and ready to go, which makes cleanup fast and keeps me from reaching for takeout on busy nights. Plus, the cheesy, savory sauce and hearty chicken make it feel like a restaurant-quality dish made right at home.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 Tyson® Meal Kit Three Cheese Chicken Carbonara

• Optional garnish: Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. I simply follow the package instructions to prepare the Tyson® Three Cheese Chicken Carbonara Meal Kit—usually this means cooking everything together in one large skillet over medium heat for about 15–20 minutes.

2. Once everything is hot, the cheese sauce is melted, and the pasta is tender, I take it off the heat.

3. I like to finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

Servings and timing

This meal kit serves 3–4 people.

• Prep time: 5 minutes

• Cook time: 15 minutes

• Total time: 20 minutes

Variations

• I sometimes toss in extra frozen peas or baby spinach during the last few minutes of cooking for added color and nutrition.

• For extra richness, I stir in a splash of heavy cream or a little more shredded cheese at the end.

• If I want to stretch the meal further, I boil extra pasta and mix it in with the sauce and chicken.

• Cracked black pepper or red pepper flakes add a subtle kick that works really well with the creamy cheese sauce.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I add a splash of milk or cream to loosen up the sauce and warm it in a skillet over medium-low heat, or microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.

FAQs

What’s included in the Tyson® Meal Kit?

The kit usually includes pre-cooked grilled chicken, pasta, bacon, and a three-cheese carbonara sauce—all portioned and ready to cook in one skillet.

Can I add vegetables to the dish?

Definitely. I’ve added peas, spinach, mushrooms, or even roasted broccoli. They blend well with the creamy sauce and round out the meal.

Is the carbonara sauce very cheesy?

Yes, it’s rich and creamy with a blend of three cheeses, giving the dish a smooth, indulgent finish that pairs beautifully with the pasta and chicken.

Do I need to cook the chicken separately?

Nope. The chicken is already pre-cooked in the kit, so I just heat it up along with the rest of the ingredients in the skillet.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

I don’t usually recommend freezing creamy pasta dishes, as the sauce can separate when thawed. It’s best enjoyed fresh or within a few days from the fridge.

Conclusion

This Three Cheese Chicken Carbonara is the kind of meal I turn to when I want something hearty and comforting without spending a ton of time in the kitchen. Whether it’s a weeknight dinner or just a no-fuss weekend meal, this recipe delivers every time.
