Ingredients

  • 1 lb. penne pasta
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb.)
  • 2 tbsp. jerk seasoning, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions to al dente. Drain and set aside. Season chicken breasts all over with 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning and salt. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook chicken until golden and no longer pink, 8 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside to rest.

  2. Add remaining oil and cook peppers until mostly tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add green onions and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with remaining jerk seasoning.

  3. Add chicken stock and heavy cream and let simmer until thickened, 5 minutes. Slice chicken. Add Parmesan and stir until melted, then add pasta and chicken and toss until completely combined.

  4. Garnish with green onions and more Parmesan and serve.
