Jerk Chicken and Pasta
"I found this recipe on allrecipes.com & thought it would be a good one for ZWT III. I love a cream sauce but had never had jerk before so this was something different for me. The mild creamy sauce is great in contrast to the spicy of the chicken. Uses recipe #232531 as the paste."

ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 teaspoons prepared jerk spice chili paste
- 1 (12 ounce) package uncooked egg noodles

directions
- Rub each breast half with 1/2 teaspoon jerk paste, and place in a shallow dish. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill for high heat. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, cook the egg noodles 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente, and drain.

- Garnish each serving with a coriander sprig and the juice of 1/4 lime.

I made this dish the other night and LOVED it! I love jerk chicken and thought it went so well with the cream sauce. I also love fresh coriander and I thought it tasted great along with the lime. Excellent flavors. I will make it again for sure.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
