Let's cook.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of fajita seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peppers are tender-crisp.
Pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and smooth. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
