Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons Jerk seasoning
2 tablespoons Olive oil
12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
1 cup Heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 cloves Garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with jerk seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
While the chicken is resting, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta thoroughly. Slice the jerk chicken and place it on top.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
