SPICY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Melt 2 tbs butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the bell peppers, onions and garlic in the butter for 8-10 minutes until softened slightly. If you like your veggies blackened in this type of dish, like I do, give them a couple more minutes until the edges start to turn black.
• While the veggies are cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces.
• Prepare a medium size pan over high heat with the olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
• When the vegetables are softened or blackened to your liking, add the chicken to the pan.
• Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken stock, 1/4 tsp salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper and thyme and simmer for 10-12 minutes until thickened. If you like your sauce a little thicker, just add 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch to a couple tablespoons of the liquid from the saucepan. Stir until smooth, remove pan from heat and whisk in cornstarch/sauce mixture, then put back on the heat.
• While the sauce is simmering, prepare fettucini according to package directions and serve sauce over plated noodles. Sprinkle a little parsley over each serving to complete.

JERK CHICKEN RASTA PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat the grill pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken and cook on one side until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Cook until the chicken registers 165 degrees F when a thermometer is inserted in the thickest portion, 6 to 8 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
• Add the bell peppers to the grill pan. Cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the peppers from the pan and set aside.
• Melt the butter and remaining tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and tender. Add the sauce powder and flour and whisk until incorporated. Reduce the heat, then slowly whisk in the half-and-half. Simmer until the mixture begins to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, then stir in the Parmesan and remaining teaspoon jerk seasoning.
• Add the pasta, chicken and peppers to the sauce and toss until combined. Divide the pasta among serving bowls and garnish with green onions and extra Parmesan.
