Instructions
 

  • In a blender, add garlic, scallions, allspice seeds, thyme, jerk seasoning, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Place chicken breasts in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for deeper flavor).
  • In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add a little water to deglaze. Add asparagus and cook quickly until bright green but still crisp. Set aside.
  • Preheat grill to high heat.
  • Grill marinated chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no pink remains in the center.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly and set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan, melt 6 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat.
  • Add chopped garlic and cook until fragrant (do not brown).
  • Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream. Add salt and black pepper. Let it gently simmer.
  • Stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until melted and slightly thickened.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms to the sauce.
  • Add cooked bow-tie pasta and toss to coat.
  • Add sliced jerk chicken, asparagus, and chopped parsley.
  • Mix gently until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Marinate chicken longer for stronger flavor.
Do not overcook asparagus; keep it slightly crisp.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results.
Adjust jerk seasoning to control spice level.
