Finally! I found a recipe that calls for things I already have on hand!

I used my Jamaican Jerk seasoning recipe for the dish; the recipe can be found here.

For the pasta, I used Cavatappi, a personal favorite. While this isn't pretty, it sure was good. Something different than the norm.

  • olive oil
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
  • 1 (8 oz) can pineapple tidbits with
  • juice
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 1 t jerk seasoning mix
  • 1/2 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 t chili powder
  • 1/2 t hot pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • hot cooked pasta
1.Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken til no longer pink and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the pineapple and its juice, coconut, brown sugar, jerk seasoning, cinnamon, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.
2.Toss chicken mixture with pasta.

Looks and sounds tasty, and I bet it would be good over rice, too.
Alison H. Jan 4, 2013, 4:42pm UTC
Actually, I think I would prefer it as a warm salad, mixing it up with some greens, like spinach or baby greens!

Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Sounds good. Love the pineapple. I like Alison's idea to mix it up spinach for a salad.

Sounds good to me. My husband will not eat anything with pieces of pineapple in it. He will eat pineapple, just not is a recipe.
