Instructions
1
Step 1
Start by rubbing the chicken breasts with about 3 tablespoons of jerk seasoning, then pop them in the fridge until you're ready to cook. While the chicken chills, heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion and peppers until they’re just about tender, which should take around 3 minutes. Mix the Alfredo sauce with the remaining 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning and the pineapple juice, then pour that into the skillet. Turn the heat down to low and let everything simmer gently.

Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite, about 8 minutes. While the pasta cooks, preheat your grill to medium-high and brush the grate with a little oil to keep the chicken from sticking.

Step 3
Add the garlic and pineapple chunks to the sauce, crank up the heat until it boils, then lower it again to let the flavors meld together, stirring now and then. Drain the pasta and keep it warm. Grill the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer hits 165°F. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid curdling the sauce. You can freeze the chicken separately for up to 2 months, but the sauce freezes best for no longer than a month.
