Rub seasoning mixture all over chicken breasts.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Mix marinade in a large bowl. Add chicken and mix. Cover with cling wrap and marinate in the fridge for 24 - 48 hours (can't skip marinating for this recipe).

Brush BBQ with oil, or heat 1 tbsp in a skillet (I used a skillet). Use Medium heat - or Medium Low if your stove/BBQ runs hot (otherwise marinade may burn).&nbsp;

Heat a large skillet, frying pan, wok or Dutch oven with the coconut oil to medium high heat. Shake the excess off the marinated chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and keep frying until the internal temperature of the chicken pieces reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

Transfer cooked pieces to a paper towel lined plate. Fry in batches, if needed, so that the chicken is not crowded in your pan. Set aside.

combine

In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, rice vinegar, ginger and lime juice. Bring the saucepan with sauce to medium heat. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, whisking constantly.

Coconut Chicken with Pineapple and Peppers is a sweet and tropical dinner, perfect for a special occasion.

Coconut Chicken with Pineapple and Peppers

milk

coconut

canola oil (divided)

canola oil

pineapple tidbits (one can, the small ones!!)

pineapple juice (use the canned pineapple juice!)

soy sauce

sweet chile sauce

Get three shallow bowls ready to coat chicken: one with flour, salt and pepper, one with egg and milk, one with sweetened coconut.

Dredge chicken in flour, then egg mixture, then coconut.

Once all chicken is coated, cook in 3 batches using 2 tablespoons of oil per batch in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Place cooked chicken aside and replace pan to heat.

Add in another 2 tablespoons of oil and saute onions and peppers until cooked to your liking. I like mine a little bit on the crisp side, so I cooked mine about 4 minutes.

While veggies are cooking, measure out ingredients for sauce and whisk together. Add in drained pineapple to the pan, along with the sauce mixture and bring to boil until thickened slightly. Add in coconut chicken and cook another 2 minutes until heated through and serve over fried rice.
