Coconut Crusted Chicken with Plum Dipping Sauce


This dish is quite delicious and easy to put together. It's good not only for Passover, but all year around.  The dipping sauce deserves a special word. I really like it and hope to use more and more with different recipes. I had never expected plums to be so good for dipping sauce. I think, my dear readers, all of you should try to use more fruits for dipping sauces. Now I would like to experiment with apples.


For the chicken:
1 lb chicken tenderloins or chicken breasts, sliced into long, 1″ thick strips
1/2 cup matzo cake meal
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
6 Tablespoon canola oil


For the dipping sauce:
5 ripe plums, diced
3 Tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom


For the chicken:
Beat eggs in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine cake meal and shredded coconut. Dip chicken in egg mixture and then cover in coconut crumbs.
Fry chicken in oil, 3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of chicken) until golden brown. Serve with plum dipping sauce.


For the plum sauce:
In a small sauce pan combine plums, lime juice and sugar. Bring to a boil.
Once the mixture has come to a boil continue to cook for 10- 15 minutes until plums become soft. Allow to cool and add cardamon and cinnamon.


Serve plum sauce at room temperature
