heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Chop a yellow or white onion, green onion, and bell pepper into rough pieces.

Blend the chopped vegetables with white vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic paste, ground allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, thyme, and salt to create a marinade.

Butterfly the chicken breasts and slice them in half to create thinner fillets.

Season the chicken with salt and jerk seasoning, then marinate in the blended mixture for at least one hour.

Slice additional vegetables into strips to match the size of the penne pasta.

Heat avocado oil in a skillet and add the marinated chicken, cooking until browned and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

In a deep skillet, melt butter and optionally add flour to thicken the sauce.

Add ginger, garlic paste, and a tablespoon or two of the jerk marinade to the melted butter.

Incorporate heavy cream and whisk until smooth, then season with jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Slowly add parmesan cheese to the sauce, mixing well to avoid lumps.

Saute the sliced vegetables in avocado oil with jerk seasoning and marinade until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine the cooked chicken, vegetables, and sauce with the pasta.
