Joel's Jerk Chicken Pineapple Pastra

I tried this tonight and it was really good. But I think next time I will use rice instead of Pasta.

Joel's Jerk Chicken Pineapple Pasta

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits with juice
1/4 cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon jerk seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces dry fettuccini noodles
DIRECTIONS
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken until no longer pink and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the pineapple and its juice, coconut, brown sugar, jerk seasoning, cinnamon, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Toss chicken mixture with drained pasta.
