Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken wings
1/4 cup jerk seasoning or rub
1 lb pasta (penne or spaghetti)
2 cans Rotel tomatoes with green chilies (10 oz each)

8 oz cream cheese
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tbsp butter or oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: shredded chicken or ground beef for pasta, bell peppers, green onions

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss chicken wings with jerk seasoning, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 40-45 minutes until crispy, turning halfway.[1]

Boil pasta according to package directions; drain. In a skillet, heat Rotel tomatoes, stir in cream cheese until melted and creamy, then mix in cooked pasta. Adjust spice with extra jerk seasoning.[1][2]
Steam or boil green beans in salted water for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp; drain and toss with butter, salt, and pepper. Serve wings, pasta, and green beans together.[2]

Notes

Adjust jerk seasoning for heat preference; perfect for large batches and parties. Add cream cheese to pasta for richer texture or black beans for extra protein. Pair pasta with rice for a heartier meal.[1]

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the jerk wings ahead of time?

Yes, you can marinate the jerk wings overnight for deeper flavor. For the best texture, bake or grill them just before serving your complete meal of jerk wings, rotel pasta and green beans.

What can I use if I don’t have Rotel tomatoes?

You can substitute a 10-ounce can of diced tomatoes mixed with a small can of diced green chiles. This will provide a similar flavor and spice level for the pasta component of this jerk wings, rotel pasta and green beans recipe.

How can I adjust the spice level for this meal?

Control the heat by using mild or hot Rotel tomatoes and by adjusting the amount of jerk seasoning on the wings. For the green beans, keep them simple to provide a cooling contrast to the spicier elements of the dish.
