Caribou Coconut Chicken with Honey Mustard Sauce is a dish your whole family
will love.
Ingredients
§ 1 1/2 pounds Chicken Breast (boneless,
skinless, 1/3" - 1/2" thick)
§ 2 teaspoons Salt
§ 2 teaspoons Sugar
§ 2 cups Flaked Coconut
§ 1 cup Corn Starch
§ 1/4 cup Flour
§ 2 Eggs (beaten)
§ 1/4 cup Water
§ Deep fryer or deep skillet
§ Vegetable Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
Trim chicken breast so
the pieces will measure 4" long and about 2 1/2" wide. Sprinkles
sugar and salt over chicken breast and place in a zip lock bag and marinate in
refrigerator for 4 hours.
When chicken breast
are ready to be prepared, rinse lightly and drain. Place coconut, corn starch,
and flour in a bowl and mix well.
In separate bowl place
beaten eggs and add water, blend well. Have oil hot and ready to fry chicken
breast. Dip chicken breast in egg wash and then place chicken breast in coconut
mixture, coated well. Carefully place chicken in hot oil and cook until lightly
golden. Remove and place on a paper towel. When frying chicken do not crowd and
keep a check on the oil so it does not burn.
The coconut chicken
was served with the honey mustard on top of the chicken pieces, we have elected
to serve the sauce on the side. For presentation and tasty side compliment.
Slice a ripe pineapple in 1/8" pieces and cut the round slices in half.
Lightly sauté the pineapple in a non stick sauce pan that has been sprayed with
a non stick spray just until heated through. The pineapple will turn more
intense yellow. Serving fresh sautéed pineapple is also great with a pork
entree.
