CoconutPankoChickenwith CucumberSaladandSrirachaMayo
8 Persian cucumbers, cut into 1½” pieces
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp kosher salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ c. all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 c. panko
1 c. unsweetened shredded coconut
3 c. vegetable oil (approx.)
½ c mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sriracha
1 small red onion, thinly sliced Zest and juice of 2 limes
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Combine cucumbers, sugar, and ½ tsp. kosher salt in resealable plastic bag Seal bag and smash cucumbers with a meat mallet or rolling pin Set aside
Pound chicken breasts to ¼” thickness. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
Place flour in a shallow bowl Crack eggs into a second shallow bowl and beat lightly to blend Mix panko and shredded coconut in a third shallow bowl. Season flour, eggs, and panko mixture with salt to taste. Dredge each chicken breast, one at a time, in the flour, then the egg, then the panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Pour vegetable oil into a large cast-iron skillet Make sure the oil comes about ½” up the side Heat oil over medium-high heat
Once the oil reads 375 degrees, cook chicken in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes each. Transfer to a wire rack set inside another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt
Stir together the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl.
Drain the reserved cucumbers and add to a bowl, then add the onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt Drizzle with some olive oil and toss to coat
Drizzle sriracha mayo over the chicken and serve alongside the cucumber salad. Sprinkle lime zest on top.
