Steps

1

Cook pasta to al-dente in boiling salted water. RESERVE SOME PASTA WATER FOR LATER
2

Rub fajita seasoning onto chicken strips. Heat oil in a shallow pan or pot to medium/ high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is browned on both sides. Take chicken out of the pan and let rest on a bowl
3

Meanwhile, add bell peppers, onion and garlic to pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until onions are fragrant and tender. Add tomatoes and cook stirring until it releases some juice but is not cooked to shrink all the way
4

Add chicken, cream (or milk/cornstarch mixture) and pasta water to pan. Stir and simmer for a few minutes or until the sauce slightly thickens. Finally add the pasta and cheeses (a little at a time), gently stirring until cheese is fully melted and all contents are combined
