Method

Preparing Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Grilling Chicken

  1. 2

    Season and Grill Chicken

    Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and jerk seasoning. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let it rest before slicing.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 3

    Roast the Peppers

    While the chicken is grilling, slice the bell peppers into strips. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the bell peppers. Sauté until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Mango Jerk Cream Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, mango puree, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 5

    Combine Pasta, Chicken, and Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta, sliced grilled chicken, roasted bell peppers, and mango jerk cream sauce. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Dish

    Serve the jerk chicken pasta warm, garnished with additional jerk seasoning or fresh herbs if desired.
