Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add 500g of sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter, then add 1 sliced bell pepper and 1 sliced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and a pinch of salt. Mix well, then return the chicken to the skillet.
Add 0.5 cup of cream and juice of 1 lime to the skillet, stirring to combine and create a creamy sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Stir in 0.5 cup of grated cheddar cheese and mix until melted.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and additional cheese if desired.
