Cajun Chicken Florentine - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    6 tablespoons cajun seasoning (I use Schilling)
    1 (10 ounce) package chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
    2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
    2 tablespoons flour
    2 cups milk
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    salt and pepper
    1 package mostaccioli noodles
    4 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
    Put noodles on to boil, and boil according to package directions.
    In the meantime, make sauce.
    In a medium sauce pan, melt butter.
    Add flour and blend well.
    Gradually whisk in milk, spinach, cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
    Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring frequently.
    Cover and reserve.
    Heat oil over medium high heat in large fry pan.
    Sprinkle chicken liberally with cajun seasoning, and sear chicken on both sides, reduce heat to medium and cook thoroughly (about 10-15 minutes), turning occasionally.
    Serve noodles on plate, top with a chicken breast and spoon sauce over.
    Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra parmesan cheese if desired.
