Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, set aside.

Combine garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, thyme, parsley, sugar, salt, paprika, red pepper flakes, allspice, black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken tenders. Use as much or as little of the jerk seasoning as you wish.

In large sauté pan, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the peppers and onion until they begin to soften. Add chicken tenders to the skillet and cook until done, about 8 minutes. Pour the cream and remaining butter into the skillet. Lower heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve chicken and sauce over pasta.
