Remove from pan and place all prepped vegetables into a medium-high heat pan. Cook for 10 minutes or until the vegetables have become tender. Once tender add chicken back into pan and turn heat down to low. Add the evaporated milk and the beaten egg. (Stir the egg in slowly so the egg doesn’t scramble.)

Boil off linguini to package direction, place linguini directly into the carbonara mixture and stir. Place in serving dish and garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve and Enjoy!
