Joel's Jerk Chicken Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits with juice
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon jerk seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces dry fettuccini noodles
Instructions
1
Preheat the skillet over medium heat, adding a generous amount of olive oil to it. Cook and stir the chicken until it reaches a fully cooked state, where no pink remains and juices flow freely, typically taking 7 to 10 minutes.
2
Next, introduce the pineapple along with its juice into the skillet, followed by the coconut, brown sugar, jerk seasoning, cinnamon, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
3
Subsequently, lower the heat to a low setting and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
4
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and season it lightly with salt.
5
Add the pasta to the boiling water, cooking it until it reaches an al dente state, which is usually around 8 to 10 minutes.
6
Once done, drain the pasta and then toss it with the cooked chicken mixture to combine.
