Cook Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 2 people

Ingredients:
    • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
    • 1 scoop Tingling Jerk Marinade
    • 4 ounces fettuccine pasta
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 red sweet pepper, thinly sliced
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
    • Marinate the Chicken:
      Coat chicken thighs with 1 scoop of Tingling Jerk Marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes (or longer for a deeper flavor).

    • Cook the Chicken:
      Stovetop: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

    • Cook the Pasta:
      While the chicken cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.

    • Prepare the Creamy Sauce:
      In the same skillet, sauté shallot and garlic for 2-3 mins. Reduce heat, add heavy cream, and stir. Mix in Parmesan until melted and sauce thickens. Add red pepper and cook for 2 more mins. Season with salt, pepper, and stir in parsley.

    • Combine Everything:
      Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken to the skillet, tossing until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

    • Serve:
      Plate the creamy jerk chicken fettuccine. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
