COCONUT CHICKEN

COCONUT CHICKEN

*Boneless, skinless chicken breast
*2 large eggs
*1/4 cup coconut milk-any milk will do
*1/2 cup flour
*1 cup Panko bread crumbs (these work better then regular bread crumbs)
*1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
*1/2 tsp salt
*1/2 cup vegetable oil ( I would use coconut oil)
*Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping

Step 1: Cut chicken into strips, cutting diagonally so the ends are not too small.

Step 2: Prepare three separate bowls for breading your chicken
–1st: Combine flour and salt
–2nd: Whisk eggs and milk together
–3rd: Stir Panko bread crumbs and coconut together

Step 3: Heat 1/4 c of vegetable oil in large skillet over medium/high heat. It is hot enough when the flour sizzles and bubbles when it comes in contact with the oil.

Step 4: Coat chicken strips in the three bowls. Start with the flour combination, then the egg and milk, and end with the bowl containing the bread crumbs and coconut.

Step 5: Place some of your chicken strips in the hot oil with about an inch in between each strip (this helps prevent the oil from cooling down). I prefer to just fry the strips for until they are golden brown,, place them on a paper towel to drain, and once I’m done with all of them I bake them for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. (Cooking time may very depending on how thick your chicken is)
Last but not least serve immediately with your chili sauce.
