Coconut Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup cream of coconut, soy sauce, brown sugar and rice-wine vinegar in a large bowl.
  • Add chicken strips, cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  • Place flour in pie plate and add salt and pepper.
  • Beat eggs and 1/4 cup cream of coconut.
  • Place shredded coconut in a bowl.
  • Dredge chicken pieces in flour, then egg mixture, then coconut.
  • Heat just enough peanut oil in a saute pan to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Saute the chicken strips in peanut oil, about 5 minutes on each side.
  • Do not let oil become too hot or you will over brown the coconut.
  • When chicken is cooked, remove from pan and keep warm.
  • Drain the pan of any leftover oil but do not scrape out the drippings.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 cup pineapple juice and 1/2 cup cream of coconut to the pan along with the heavy cream.
  • Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, until sauce has thickened.
  • Use sauce by pouring over the chicken or as a dip for the chicken pieces.
