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.

CREAMY JERK PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND PEAS
The combination of jerk flavourings with creamy pasta seems strange, but it's actually delicious! You can adjust the amount of spice to suit your taste. It is very quick to prepare.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in lots of salted water.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce:.
- Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
- Sprinkle the chicken cubes with salt and pepper, then saute them in the oil until browned on the outside. Take the pan off the heat and remove the chicken. Don't worry if it is not cooked all the way through.
- Add 1 Tbsp to the pan and turn the heat to med-low.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 sec -- do not allow it to brown.
- Add the chicken broth, the cream cheese, the cream and the jerk sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the cream cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Taste, and add more jerk sauce if you want more spice.
- Add the chicken, and simmer for 1 more minute, until all chicken is cooked through.
- Add spinach and frozen peas, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until peas are warm.
- By now the pasta should be cooked. Do not drain the pasta. Rather, use tongs to remove it from the water and put it, still dripping, into the sauce. (The drips of pasta water are starchy and help thicken the sauce.).
- Turn off the heat under the sauce.
- Toss, adding salt and pepper to taste. If using parmesan, add it now, and toss.
- Serve!

JERK CHICKEN AND PASTA
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com & thought it would be a good one for ZWT III. I love a cream sauce but had never had jerk before so this was something different for me. The mild creamy sauce is great in contrast to the spicy of the chicken. Uses recipe #232531 as the paste.
