Chicken Fajita Pasta image

This is one of those recipes you make up by accident. I found some chili pepper flavored pasta, and had to try it, then had to figure out what to do with it. This is what I came up with using ingredients I always have around. If you can't find Chili Pepper pasta, use regular, or feel free to sub another flavor.
