Mix the spices, salt and pepper.
Cut the chicken breast in small cubes and rub the cubes with the salt, pepper and spices.
Chop shallots fine and cut green bell pepper in cubes, about the same size as the chicken.
Chop the avocado in cubes, about the same size as the chicken.
Heat the garlic butter in a pan and cook the chicken, until fully cooked. This will take about 5 minutes.
Bring water and salt to a boil and add the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the direction on the packaging.
Take the chicken out of the pan and keep it warm. Add the shallot to the same skillet and cook until translucent.
Add the bell pepper at the last minute and cook 1-2 minutes. Make sure it is still snappy.
Add the white wine and warm it in the pan, loosening all brown pieces in the pan.
Drain the pasta. Add pasta to the pan.
Add chicken back into the pan, followed by the avocado cubes.
Toss everything and allow to warm a little. You may want to add some pasta water if needed.
