Cook pasta according to package instructions to al dente. Drain and set aside. Season chicken breasts all over with 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning and salt. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook chicken until golden and no longer pink, 8 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside to rest.

Add remaining oil and cook peppers until mostly tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add green onions and garlic and cook&nbsp;until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with remaining jerk seasoning.&nbsp;

Add chicken broth and heavy cream and let simmer until thickened, 5 minutes. Slice chicken. Add Parmesan and stir until melted, then add pasta and chicken and toss until completely combined.&nbsp;

Garnish with green onions and more Parmesan and serve.

I just made this and I did not measure the jerk seasoning. I just seasoned the chicken with my jerk seasoning to my liking then I seasoned the veggies with my favorite seasoning (so it wouldn't be to sweet or spicy). I needed a bit more milk/cream to give me a sauce but it was delicious and I would make it again!

My daughter loved this!! I was skeptical after reading the reviews. I followed this whole thing to a tee. I just added a cup of heavy cream. 1 cup of Parm. Added my own seasonings, garlic powder, Adobe, black pepper, onion powder and plenty of jerk seasoning (Caribbean’s Tradition) brand which isn’t so overly spicy. And a half box of noodles. As stated you won’t have enough sauce to cover noodles if you use a whole box. The amount of cream you use will play the part in that! But it was delicious! A most try regardless of it authenticity. Thank you for sharing this.

Looks like a yummy recipe but I think Rasta Pasta should be vegan with coconut milk instead of dairy products.

Beginner here and it came out awesome! Used Jamaican jerk seasoning didn’t realize I grabbed that from supermarket lol. Either way it came out great and most importantly my wife thought so too and expects me to keep cooking. Yeah right. Made this as our anniversary dinner

Well let me tell you, I am SHOCKED that the comments are full of ignorance and trashy ghettoness. Shocked. 
Hmm... I really wonder why this is. What is different with this recipe than others... Can't put my finger on it.

Love it!! Definitely had to tweak the seasoning.

This was bad & flavorless. There needs to be wayyyy more seasoning, and maybe even more "sauce" for the amount of noodles it calls for. I think the idea is there & with some tweaking may be better but i won't be trying this again.

Jerk chicken + creamy pasta = the easy dinner you didn't know you needed.
