Coconut Crusted Chicken Breast with Pineapple Rice
The fancy name of this dish in reality hides a very easy, relatively fast and delicious dish. Sounds kind of tropical right? Well it suits the current weather over here! Around 100 degrees F during the day, thunderstorm by night… which unfortunately managed to rip a few flowers off my precious tomato plants. Don’t worry much though, new ones appeared since then
The dish is really easy to prepare.
For the chicken:
Cut the chicken breast(s) in thin slices. Get them breaded in the following order> cover the slices with white flour, then submerge in a beaten egg, finally cover thoroughly with breadcrumbs mixed with shredded coconut (I used half and half to get a nice coconut flavour but not to overwhelm the original chicken taste – the Mr would not like that hehe). Fry them in oil or on a little olive oil.
For the rice:
Cook any rice you wish and mix with a handful of cubed pineapple (fresh is ideal, I only had canned – works just as great).
Serve the chicken over the rice and collect the compliments! And of course, enjoy




Beautiful dish!
Thank you

Must try this, everyone here loves coconut. We usually have it with shrimp but the chicken is a great idea & something different.
I love coconut shrimp but it is very difficult to find good ones here
But at least we have chicken, haha!
This looks so good!
Thank you!
