Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Jerk Chicken about 4 pieces, Halal-friendly
  • 8 oz Pasta penne or fettuccine
  • 1 medium Onion sliced
  • 1 can Coconut Milk 13.5 oz
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Vegetables
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1 Yellow Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced

Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Marinating Chicken
  1. Generously apply your favorite halal jerk seasoning on the chicken, then let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Sautéing Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated jerk chicken and cook for about 7-10 minutes on each side until it's cooked through and has a nice char. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
Cooking Vegetables
  1. In the same skillet, add sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Slice the jerk chicken and return it to the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Pour in the coconut milk, and stir well to combine. Add the cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese, mixing until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Final Touches
  1. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Give it a final stir before serving. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or coconut milk to restore creaminess.
