- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
- Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning mix.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining fajita seasoning mix over the chicken and vegetables, and stir to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream (or half-and-half). Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring until it is well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until it is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season the chicken fajita pasta with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
