Jerk Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup jerk seasoning
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 12 ounces fettuccini noodles
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes with the jerk seasoning. Toss to coat evenly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add the white wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened. Add the red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cooked chicken.
5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fettuccini noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet with the sauce and chicken. Stir to combine.
6. Serve the jerk chicken Alfredo with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
