Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Season the chicken strips with jerk seasoning. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the coconut milk. Stir well to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to ensure all the ingredients are well combined and the pasta is coated with the sauce.
Garnish with chopped scallions and fresh parsley before serving.
