Discover an irresistible recipe for Coconut Chicken with Apricot Sauce A perfect blend of flavors and techniques for a delightful meal
Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil for frying
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. If the breasts are thick, consider slicing them in half horizontally to create thinner fillets for even cooking.
Set up a breading station. In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. In a third bowl, place the shredded coconut.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated before moving it to the coconut bowl.
Press the chicken into the shredded coconut, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Repeat this process for each chicken breast.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the coconut-coated chicken in the pan, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine apricot preserves and soy sauce over medium heat. Stir until smooth and heated through; set aside.
Once chicken is fully cooked, remove from skillet and place on a cutting board or platter. Drizzle with the warm apricot sauce or serve it on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs or lime juice as desired. Serve hot and enjoy your tropical feast!
