CRISPY COCONUT CHICKEN WITH SPICY HONEY ORANGE SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• If using chicken breasts, pound down and cut into strips. If using boneless, skinless chicken tenders (chicken tenders are the lean strips of meat found attached to the underside of chicken breasts - they can also be purchased separately.) - cut in half lengthwise. 2.Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. 3.Pulse the shredded coconut in a food processor or blender to break it down into smaller pieces. Alternatively, you can chop it up. Mix it with the Panko in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a second medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and pepper together. In a third bowl, whisk the eggs together. 4.Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 5.Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in egg and let any excess drip off. Then generously roll in the coconut mixture, shaking off any excess. Add more Panko to the dish if you are running low. 6.Fry 4-6 chicken strips at a time in the coconut oil-- only about 2 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown. Once each is done, place strips onto prepared baking pan. 7.Bake for 6-10 minutes or until chicken is completely baked through. 8.Make the sauce: Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together except for the salt. Taste. Add salt as needed. 9.Serve chicken warm with the dipping sauce. Add an optional garnish like a little chopped cilantro or parsley. Store any leftover chicken in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through. 10.Make ahead tip: Baked coconut chicken freezes well up to 2-3 months. Bake frozen chicken in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 20 minutes or until warmed through. Additional Notes: 1.I prefer sweetened coconut for a slightly sweet crust. You can use unsweetened coconut if you'd prefer it, though we didn't like the unsweetened crust as much compared to sweetened coconut. I also find that the sweetened coconut browns easier and was a little crispier. 2.Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb traditionally used as a coating for fried or baked foods. It's available in major grocery stores near the stuffing. Panko is heavily preferred opposed to regular bread crumbs because they tend to stay crispier longer. You may buy seasoned or unseasoned and then add more/less seasonings to your breading if preferred. I use unseasoned. 3.Instead of flash frying in coconut oil in steps 4 and 6, you can simply bake the coconut chicken for around 20 minutes (flipping halfway through) and skip those two steps. However, we much preferred the taste of the chicken after being pan fried in coconut oil for that brief amount of time. It adds another layer of coconut flavor as well as ensures a crispy golden brown crust.

SPICY HONEY ORANGE CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean and dry chicken breasts. Pound them to an even thickness.
• Put flour on a plate. Sprinkle 1/2 the chili powder and no-salt lemon pepper on flour. Dredge the first chicken breast so that both sides are covered in flour and spice. Repeat process for the second chicken breast.
• Before you start the chicken, put the rice in the water and heat. When the water boils, cover and reduce heat to low simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes and then let stand until chicken is done.
• Heat garlic and olive oil in a pan at medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side - until they are about 1/2 cooked.
• Remove chicken from the pan and keep warm (I put them in the oven at 170 degrees).
• Deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce by half (for those of you who don't know what this means - as I didn't - it means pour the wine in the hot pan and let it simmer/ boil until only half of it is left and all of the chicken fat, etc. is dissolved into the wine).
• Add the orange juice, honey and red pepper flakes. Allow it to just boil.
• Place the chicken back in the pan and add the mushrooms. Cook at medium-low heat for about 10 - 12 minutes (until chicken is cooked through). Pour sauce over chicken occasionally.
• Serve over rice.
