Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti. Cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package instructions.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on paper towel to drain.

In the same skillet, cook the onion until softened. Add the chicken pieces and cook until done, about 5-7 minutes on medium high heat.

Add the garlic to the chicken and cook 1 minute. Turn off the heat but leave the skillet on the stove.

Drain the spaghetti, reserving 1 cup pasta water, and add pasta to the pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, Parmesan, salt and pepper.

Add bacon and egg mixture to pan, stir in ¼ cup pasta water and continue stirring and adding pasta water until the sauce comes together.
