Step 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. A meat thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate and keep warm.)

Step 4 (While the chicken cooks, make the pasta: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the pasta.)

Step 5 (While the noodles are cooking, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and cook until it smells fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in stock, wine, chopped cilantro, jerk paste, salt, and pepper. Squeeze 1/2 of the lime quarters right into the pan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and stir in cream. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes; don't let it boil. Pour cooked egg noodles into the pan and toss with cream sauce until coated and warm.)

Step 6 (Divide the noodles between four plates and top with the grilled chicken. Squeeze remaining lime quarters over top and garnish with cilantro sprigs.)
