Instructions
Cook the Pasta
- Fill a pot with water and boil it. Add salt and pasta. Cook until soft but not too soft. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Season the Chicken
- Put sliced chicken in a bowl. Add jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well so the chicken gets full flavor.
Cook the Chicken

Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same pan, add a little more oil. Add bell peppers and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and bright.
Make the Cream Sauce
- Lower the heat. Pour in the heavy cream and milk. Stir slowly. Add parmesan cheese and mix well. Cook until the sauce becomes creamy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Add Chicken and Pasta
- Now add the cooked chicken and pasta to the sauce. Mix well so everything gets covered in creamy jerk sauce.
Garnish and Serve

Notes
- Adjust the jerk seasoning to match your spice level.
- Use shrimp instead of chicken for a fun twist.
- Don’t overcook the pasta; keep it a bit firm.
- Add more cheese if you want a thicker sauce.
- Use fresh bell peppers for bright color and crunch.
