Coconut-Curry Crusted Chicken with Spicy Mango Salad
Ingredients
- Dressing
- 1 cup mango cubed (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoon vinegar white or cider
- 2 tablespoon water
- 2 tsp cilantro
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salad
- 6 cups romaine lettuce torn, bite size
- 1 cup tomatoes diced
- 1 cup mango cubed (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup red onion sliced or dices
- Chicken
- 16 oz Chicken breasts boneless and skinless cut into 4 servings
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 tsp Curry powder
- 1 cup coconut unsweetened
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbs coconut oil or other veg oil OR spray
Instructions
- For the dressing: put all ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree
- For the salad: toss all the ingredients together
- For the chicken:
- 1. Whisk together coconut mil and 1 tsp of the curry powder.
- 2. Combine the remaining 2 tsp of curry powder, coconut, salt & pepper, and flour, Stir until blended.
- 3. Dip the chicken in coconut milk mixture, let excess drip off then coat in ground coconut mixture.
- 4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet or med heat (or spay really well with oil).
- 5. Saute the chicken in oil until golden on one side (about 5 minutes). Transfer chicken to a baking sheet and reduce the heat a bit. Add the remaining oil and then return the chicken to the skillet cooked side up, and cook until done. If you have a meat thermometer you can put it in the thickest part of the chicken - it needs to be 165 degrees. The second side of the chicken should take 5-8 minutes.
- 6. Serve salad with dressing and top with chicken.
- NOTE: I think it’s too much dressing so I serve the dressing on the side.
