Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Season the egg white. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the coconut. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins, turning once until the chicken is cooked through.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, tip the cucumber slices into a colander, sprinkle with a little salt and leave for 5 mins to drain. Pat the cucumber slices dry with kitchen paper. In a bowl, mix the onion with the sugar and vinegar, then add the cucumber and serve with the chicken.

RECIPE TIPS
TIP

Mixing the red onion slices with the vinegar and setting aside for a minute softens the onion’s flavour and texture.

MAKE IT WITH FISH - COCONUT-CRUSTED SALMON

You can replace the chicken with salmon fillets or any firm white fish. Brush the surface of 2 salmon fillets with the seasoned egg white, then scatter over the coconut. Grill for 8 mins until the salmon is cooked through and the coconut is golden.

Easy, quick and enjoyable but as others have said the chicken needs something to "lift" it a little. I served it with mango chutney which made all the difference.

Very quick to make and the end result was lovely. I also tried it with salmon fillets which were good too. I didn't make the salad. Served with roasted new potatoes and cheesy chard gratin from this site.

Very straight forward recipe.. the chicken needs a little something more though, like a lemon or lime juice to it or a sauce as we found the coconut a bit bland. I added chilli flakes which was an improvement. The cucumber & red onion salad was spot on though!

A tasty and easy dish to make. I did 2 coatings of egg and coconut, and served with mango chutney and naan. Delish!
