A delightful tropical-inspired chicken dish featuring coconut-crusted chicken and a vibrant mango salsa.
Prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Even thickness ensures the chicken cooks uniformly.
Set up a breading station with separate bowls for flour, beaten eggs, and shredded coconut.
Use one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet to keep the process clean.
Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with shredded coconut.
Press the coconut gently onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.
Serve the coconut-crusted chicken with the mango salsa on the side.
Garnish with additional cilantro for a fresh touch.
