NEW ORLEANS PANEED CHICKEN WITH SHRIMP AND FUSILLI



New Orleans Paneed Chicken With Shrimp and Fusilli image

I was in shock to find no recipes for paneed chicken in here! In New Orleans "Paneed" mean pan fried. It's usually chicken coated in bread crumbs and seasonings that is pan fried and served with pasta alfredo. This recipe is one I found from Bon Appétit, September 1995. I have however tweaked it and made it a little more to my tastes.
