Jerk Chicken & Pineapple Pasta

This is from Allrecipes and just looked good, so I wanted to try it. I love anything with pineapple in it, and the added coconut and jerk seasoning mix caught my eye. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits with juice (we used chunks, not crushed)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 1 tsp jerk seasoning mix
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces fettuccini noodles
Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken until no longer pink, and juices run clear, 7 - 10 minutes. Stir in pineapple and it's juice, coconut, brown sugar, jerk seasoning, cinnamon, chili powder, red pepper, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.

2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 - 10 minutes; drain. Toss chicken mixture with drained pasta.
