directions

Step 1

Toss chicken in Jerk sauce, marinate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet set over medium heat until crispy; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble into pieces; set aside.

Step 2

Drain and discard all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) bacon fat from the skillet. Add the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes per side or until cooked through; chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Toss the cooked penne with hot Alfredo sauce, pesto, Montreal steak spice and enough cream to achieve the desired consistency. Stir in chicken and bacon. Sprinkle Parmesan and green onion over top. Serve immediately.
