Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare ingredients

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Slice bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince garlic cloves. Chop fresh cilantro.

2
Cook chicken

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

3
Add vegetables and seasonings

Add sliced bell peppers, onion, minced garlic, and fajita seasoning mix to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

4
Add tomatoes, broth, and pasta

Stir in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and penne pasta. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until pasta is al dente, about 12 minutes.

5
Add cream and cheese

Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes.

6
Garnish and serve

Remove the pot from heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
