Toast crumbs and walnuts in oil in a nonstick skillet until golden, 3–4 minutes. Toss mixture with parsley and zest; season with salt and set it aside.
Cook bacon in a large sauté pan until crisp. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Drain all but 1 Tbsp. of drippings from pan.
Sauté chicken in two batches in the drippings over medium-high heat until browned, 3 minutes per side. Return all chicken to pan and add garlic; cook for 1 minute.
Deglaze the pan with wine and lemon juice. Reduce until liquid is nearly evaporated, 3–4 minutes.
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions; drain, reserving some of the pasta water.
Whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and cream in a large bowl. Stir in frozen peas. Add cooked chicken, reserved bacon, and spaghetti. Toss mixture to coat all ingredients. Add reserved pasta water as needed to thin sauce. Sprinkle carbonara with bread crumb topping before serving.
Steps to Success
1. Sauté the chicken tenders in bacon drippings. For the best browning, cook chicken in batches.
