Jerk Chicken Pasta

OMG! If you like Jerk chicken, then you will love this simple and delicious pasta.  I used a chickpea pasta to add protein, but you can use any rotini you prefer.

Ingredients:

6-8 chicken tenderloins

2 tablespoons Jerk seasoning (divided)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 red bell pepper thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper thinly sliced

4-5 banana peppers thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves

1 tablespoon flour (I used coconut flour)

16 ounces half and half

1 cup shredded parmesan

¼ cup grated parmesan

8-16 ounces rotini

Directions:

1. Drizzle olive oil over chicken and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning.  Allow to marinate while grill preheats.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Cook pasta according to package directions.
3. Sauté peppers and garlic on medium low heat for 5 minutes and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon jerk seasoning.  Spray with olive oil spray.
4. Add half and half, flour, and grated parmesan, and allow to simmer on low heat. 
5. Grill chicken 5 minutes per side and then allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Drain and add pasta to vegetables and sauce. 
7. Add shredded cheese and mix in sauce.
8. Add chicken to pasta.
9. Serve and enjoy!
