Cooking Instructions
- Begin by cutting the organic chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a bowl. Generously coat the chicken with the jerk dry rub seasoning, ensuring every piece is well-covered. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add your short-cut pasta, stirring occasionally. Cook according to package instructions for 6-8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped bell peppers to the leftover oil, stirring frequently. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and peppers begin to soften.
- Whisk in the smoked paprika and jerk seasoning, followed by all-purpose flour. Gradually pour in organic heavy cream and chicken stock, stirring until thick and creamy. Add a splash of white cooking wine and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Return the seared chicken and fresh thyme to the skillet, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-18 minutes.
- Gently fold in the cooked pasta, stirring to coat with sauce. Add reserved pasta water if too thick. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.
