Ingredients

  • 2 cups Panko (Japanese Bread Crumbs)
  • 1 cup Macadamia Nut finely chopped
  • 4 Chicken Boneless Skinless Breasts
  • 2 Mangos
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro
  • 1 Lime
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Instructions

Prep Work

  • Peel, pit, and dice the mango.
  • Peel and chop the red onion.
  • Strip the cilantro from its stems and roughly chop the leaves.
  • Cut the lime in half, juice half and cut the other half into wedges.
  • Get three plates out.
  • Place the flour on one plate.
  • Crack the two eggs, scramble, and place them on the second plate.
  • Chop the macadamia nuts and place in a bowl.
  • In the bowl with the macadamia nuts mix in the panko, sprinkle some salt & pepper and stir.
  • Take the panko and macadamia nut mixture and place in the third plate.

Prepare the Chicken

  • Line up the three plates, with flour first, scrambled eggs next, and the panko macadamia nut mixture last. Place an empty plate on the very end.
  • First, take the chicken and coat it with the flour.
  • Make sure the chicken is coated evenly on both sides.
  • Next, take the chicken and dip it into the eggs.
  • Again, make sure the chicken is coated evenly on both sides.
  • Finally, dip the chicken in the macadamia nut panko mixture.
  • After the chicken has been completely prepped, place them onto a plate and set aside. In a deep pan for frying, heat the oil until hot, but not smoking.
  • While the oil heats, prepare the mango salsa and any side dishes you’ve chosen.

Make Mango Salsa

  • In a large bowl, pour the chopped mango in first.
  • Next, add in the red onion.
  • Add in the cilantro and stir well.
  • Squeeze in the lime juice. Stir, coating the mango evenly with the juice.
  • Once you’ve finished making the mango salsa and your side dishes are almost complete it’s time to cook the chicken.

Cook the Chicken

  • In the large pan, full of hot oil, take the chicken and deep fry each piece, 3-4 minutes per side depending on the thickness of each chicken breasts.
  • Place the chicken after it has been fried on a paper lined plate to drain off excess oil.
  • Finally, once the chicken and the side dishes are finished, it is time to plate and serve.

Plate and Serve

  • Place a chicken breast on each plate, top with the mango salsa, and serve with the side dishes (rice and broccoli as pictured if used). Place the extra mango salsa in a small bowl on the side for anyone to grab a little more if desired.
