Instructions

  1. 1 Make the chicken: Rub chicken with jerk paste and place into a shallow dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. 2 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  3. 3 Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate and keep warm.

  5. 5 While the noodles are cooking, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in stock, wine, chopped cilantro, jerk paste, salt, and pepper. Squeeze 1/2 of the lime quarters into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and stir in cream. Cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes; do not let it boil. Pour cooked egg noodles into the pan and toss with cream sauce until coated and warm.
  6. 6 Divide noodles among four serving plates and top with grilled chicken. Squeeze remaining lime quarters over top and garnish with cilantro sprigs.
