Ingredients

2 tbs shredded coconut

4 whole chicken breasts (about 4 pounds)

1 c canned coconut milk

1/2 c chicken broth (see Soups: Chicken Broth)

1/4 c sugar

2 tbs lemon juice

1 tbs + 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tsp ginger root juice

2 tsp vegetable oil

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp white peppers

Vegetable oil

1/4 c all-purpose flour

1/4 c water

2 tbs cornstarch

2 tbs vegetable oil

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg white

Directions

Heat oven to 300°. Bake coconut, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until golden brown. (Watch carefully so coconut does not burn.)

Remove bones and skin from chicken breast; cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 2-inch strips.

Heat coconut milk, broth, sugar, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, the gingerroot juice, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the white pepper to boiling.

Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat; keep warm.

****

Heat vegetable oil (2 inches) in wok to 350°.

In bowl, mix flour, water, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the egg white in medium bowl.

Dip chicken into batter then fry a few pieces at a time 3 minutes or until very light brown; drain on paper towels.

***

Cut each chicken piece crosswise into 1-inch pieces, using a very sharp knife; place in a single layer on heated platter.

Pour coconut sauce over chicken; garnish with toasted coconut.

**The coconut flavor of this recipe turns everyday chicken into an exotic tropical treat. The white sauce over golden brown chicken makes a very attractive dish. Toasted coconut stores well at room temperature. Keep it in a close jar up to several months.
