Steps:
- 1. In a food processor or blender, blend the lemon juice, condensed milk, milk, coconut and cardamom until smooth. Pour into a bowl.
- 2. Dip bananas into milk mixture; roll in cornflakes and set aside.
- 3. Dip chicken into remaining milk mixture; roll in the remaining cornflakes and place in two greased 13-in. X 2-in. baking pans.
- 4. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the melted butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degress for 1 hour [or less if it is chicken breasts]. Arrange bananas over the chicken. Drizzle with remaining butter. Bake 15 minutes (I just baked it for 10 more minutes)longer or until chicken juices run clear.
- 5. Garnish with Kiwi and Starfruit if desired. (I laid my sliced kiwifruit on to toasted coconut) Yields 6-8 servings.
- 6. Inside the baked banana. Note: Only make enough bananas for those who are eating. They do not make for a good reheat and will need to be tossed. But the chicken is fine to reheat.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: Use bananas that are bright yellow with a few brown spots. These will be sweeter and have a better flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made with all-natural ingredients and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken and bananas will start to lose their flavor if they are allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
South Seas Chicken and Bananas is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of sweet bananas, savory chicken, and tangy soy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better.
