Description

Caribbean style chicken. So yummy. This is my version of a dish from the restaurant Bahama Breeze.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken, Cut Into Strips
  • Jerk Seasoning, To Your Preference
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 8 ounces, weight Fresh Sliced Mushroom
  • 1 bunch Asparagus, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
  • 16 ounces, weight Bowtie Pasta
  • 6-½ ounces, weight Alouette Garlic And Herb Cheese Spread
  • ½ cups Half-and-half
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt To Taste

Preparation

Marinate chicken in jerk seasoning overnight. Just sprinkle on as much seasoning as looks right.

The next day, cook the chicken in a large non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat until done. Take the chicken out of the skillet and set aside.

In the same pan, put 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter. When hot, add the mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms, and when they are almost done, add the asparagus and put the lid on the pan.

In a large pot, boil water. Add pasta and cook according to package directions.

For the cheese sauce, get a small sauce pan and add the Alouette spread, half-and-half, and parmesan. Heat over medium low heat until smooth.

Once the asparagus is bright green and cooked how you like it, add the chicken to the skillet. When chicken is heated through, add the pasta and the cheese sauce. Salt to taste (it’s important to add salt!).

Before I serve this I move it into a pretty dish and sprinkle with some extra parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

This sounds great! Would you take a quick minute to add the specific size (in ounces) of the containers of mushrooms and Alouette? Just add it to the end of each ingredient line. Once you are done, we’ll get the recipe posted. Thanks!

So last week I ate at Bahama Breeze for the first time and order the Jerk Chicken Pasta and loved it. So when I got home I started searching for the recipe. I made your recipe last night and my husband and I loved it! The sauce what the perfect combination. I didn’t change a thing! Thanks for sharing! :-)
