Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss the sliced chicken with fajita seasoning and add to the pan.
3. Cook the chicken until it’s no longer pink and is slightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, sauté the bell peppers and onion until they are soft and slightly charred, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
6. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the pan with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated and all ingredients are heated through.
8. Serve the pasta garnished with chopped coriander.
