01
Step 1
Start by rubbing the chicken breasts with about 3 tablespoons of jerk seasoning. Pop them in the fridge to marinate while you get everything else ready.
02
Step 2
Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat, then toss in the chopped onion and peppers. Let them cook for about 3 minutes until they start to soften. Meanwhile, mix the Alfredo sauce with the remaining 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning and the pineapple juice. Pour this sauce into the skillet, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer gently.

Step 3
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until it’s tender but still has a little bite—about 8 minutes. Drain it and keep it warm.

Step 4
Add garlic and pineapple chunks to the sauce, turn the heat back up to bring it to a boil, then reduce it again and let everything simmer so the flavors meld together. Give it a stir now and then.

Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high and oil the grates lightly. Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer hits 165°F. Once done, slice the chicken into strips.
