Ingredients
Method
- For the Chicken:
- Season chicken with green seasoning or your usual seasoning mix.
- Rub in the jerk seasoning and let marinate (overnight if possible).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove foil, drain any excess liquid, and return to the oven uncovered for another 20–25 minutes.
- Remove from oven, shred or slice chicken, and set aside.
- For the Pasta:
- Cook pasta according to the package instructions (about 8–10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté green onions and garlic for 1–2 minutes, then stir in the jerk seasoning.
- Pour in the milk and stir gently—watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
- (Optional) Toss sliced bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast in the oven for 15 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add half the pasta to the pot and stir in half the Parma Rosa mix.
- Add half the cheese and stir well to combine.
- Stir in the rest of the Parma Rosa mix and cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add in cooked chicken or shrimp (if using), then toss in the roasted bell peppers and remaining pasta.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more milk. Stir to combine, then remove from heat and serve.

Notes
Prep Tip: To keep things moving smoothly, bake your chicken and prep your peppers before you start cooking the pasta. That way, everything comes together faster when it’s time to mix.
