Caribbean Chicken |
4 x boneless chicken breasts 4 slices of smoked ham 2 tbsp of Honey – (30ml) 2 x Bananas split lengthwise 1 tsp of Salt – (5ml) White pepper to taste 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour – (45ml) 3 tbsp of shredded coconut – (45ml) 1/4 cup of plain bread crumbs – (60ml) 2 x Eggs, beaten 1/8 cup of vegetable oil – (30ml) 1/8 cup butter – (30ml) |
Preheat oven to 350°F – (175°C) Wrap chicken breasts in plastic wrap and pound them flat. Place a slice of ham on each piece of chicken. Drizzle with some honey and place a large piece of a banana slice over the ham. Roll the chicken breast with the banana at the core and refrigerate to firm, about 1 hour. Season the rolled chicken with salt and white pepper and dredge through the flour. Set aside. Combine the coconut with the bread crumbs in a flat bowl and set aside. Dip the floured chicken rolls in the beaten eggs, and coat them with the coconut-and-bread crumb mixture. In a large skillet, sauté the chicken breasts in pre-warmed vegetable oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly coloured. Place the fried chicken rolls on a buttered cooking sheet and bake in for 35 or 45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. |
