Description

Coconut Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Creating Coconut Chicken with Sweet Chili Sauce can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
  2. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces.
  3. Prepare three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  4. In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. You can check if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
  5. Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  7. Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the chicken or serve it on the side for dipping.
  8. Optionally, garnish the dish with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
