Louisiana Chicken Pasta

So I was reading the Daily Mail today and I came across this article about food calories and saw this dish.

It looked so yummy that I had to look it up. Apparently you can get it from the Cheesecake Factory which isn't available in the UK :( 

However I looked up on Google to see if there was a recipe at least and guess what?.... I found one :D 

I definitely will be making it at home soon!
