Heat the pecan oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.  Add the cream and bring to a boil.  Add the bell pepper, lime juice, cilantro, salt, black pepper, cayenne and chicken.  Cook for about two minutes.  Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.  Add the pasta and toss to coat evenly.
