CARIBBEAN JERK PASTA

I'm sure turkey or pulled pork would be just as good in this recipe. This is not intended for folks looking to cut fats. I can't guarantee how this will taste if lowfat ingredients are substituted.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (or cubed)
1/2 red onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons caribbean jerk seasoning
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup mushroom
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons flour (or more if needed)
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
2 green onions, sliced
1 1/2 cups penne pasta

Steps:

  • FOR MEAT MIXTURE.
  • Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, chicken, onion, bell pepper, seasonings, and salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Saute for approximately 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms. Saute for 2 minutes. The meat should be nicely browned and the onions soft. Remove mixture and set aside.
  • FOR SAUCE.
  • Using the same saucepan, reduce heat to low. Combine creams and water in a measuring cup large enough to hold it all. When the pan has cooled, melt 3 tablespoons butter.
  • *Important!* This is the longest process, but worth the patience (the sauce should not be runny at all. If it is, slowly add more flour until it thickens to the consistency of alfredo sauce).
  • Add a little bit of flour, stirring constantly until thickened. Pour in a little bit of the cream/water, stirring constantly. Continue alternating between the flour and liquid at a slow pace to ensure no lumps. After depleting the flour and liquid, add the garlic salt and hot sauce. Continue to stir and simmer for 1 minute. Add chicken mixture and green onions, mix thoroughly, and allow to simmer while making the pasta, stirring periodically.
  • FOR PASTA.
  • Cook pasta according to package. Drain. Add chicken/sauce mixture. Mix thoroughly. Serve with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if desired. Enjoy!

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons jerk paste
1 (12 ounce) package uncooked egg noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon jerk paste
½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, quartered
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream
4 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rub each breast half with 1/2 teaspoon jerk paste, and place in a shallow dish. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the grill for high heat. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, cook the egg noodles 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook the garlic for one minute. Mix in the chicken stock, 1 tablespoon jerk paste, white wine, chopped cilantro, juice of 1 lime, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not allow it to boil.
  • Pour the cooked egg noodles into the saucepan, and toss with the cream sauce. Divide noodles onto 4 serving plates, and top with grilled chicken. Garnish each serving with a cilantro sprig and the juice of 1/4 lime.
