  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan (optional)
  • 12 oz penne, fusilli, or cavatappi pasta

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken in jerk seasoning for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
  2. Cook pasta until al dente, drain, and reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
  3. In a skillet, heat oil and cook marinated chicken (5–7 minutes per side) until golden and cooked through. Slice and set aside.
  4. Sauté onions and bell peppers in the same pan until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in broth and heavy cream. Stir in thyme, onion powder, brown sugar, and additional jerk seasoning to taste.
  7. Simmer sauce for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Add parmesan if using.
  8. Return pasta and chicken to the pan, and toss everything until coated.
  9. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed. Garnish with green onions or fresh thyme.
 

Notes

For extra spice, add Scotch bonnet or hot sauce. Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu, and use coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Best served fresh but keeps 2–3 days in the fridge.
