2. in a large pan over medium heat, melt butter, saute green onions (I save about a 1/4 cup out for garnish), red pepper, spinach, and sundried tomatoes until just turning tender.
3. reduce heat add milk, cream,chicken soup,salt, basil, black and white pepper, garlic powder, blackened seasoning, adobe sauce and chicken. heat through and stir in parmesan to cheese to thicken. (if this is not thick enough you can thicken with a small amount of cornstarch dissolved in small amount of water)
4. pour over hot pasta and garnish with grated parmesan cheese and green onions. ENJOY

I'm not a huge fan of cajun food, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
