Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

¾ cup coconut milk
1 egg
6 ounces unsweetened flaked coconut, or more as needed
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Beat coconut milk and egg together in a bowl until smooth. Spread coconut flakes into a separate shallow bowl.
  • Place chicken between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thick.
  • Dip chicken into the beaten egg mixture and immediately press into coconut flakes to coat. Gently toss between your hands so any flakes that haven't stuck can fall away. Place chicken onto a plate while coating the rest; do not stack.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken in melted butter until lightly browned and crispy on the outside, chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was surprised at how much I liked it! The coconut flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
