List of Ingredients
4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts (about 4 oz. each)
2 canned pineapple rings (optional)
4 slices Mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 oz. each)
4 slices boiled ham (about 1/2 oz. each)
1 egg
3 tablespoon milk
2/3 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/3 cup all purpose flour
oil for deep frying.
Pound breasts lightly with mallet to 1/4 inch thickness. In center of each breast, place 1/2 of a pineapple ring (if desired); top with 1 slice cheese and 1 slice ham. Roll chicken breasts to enclose filling; secure with toothpicks.
In 2 shallow bowls, combine egg with milk and coconut with bread crumbs.
Place flour on a plate or wax paper. Dip chicken first in flour, then in egg mixture.
Roll in coconut mixture to coat chicken evenly.
In large skillet, heat 2 inch oil to 350 degrees. Fry chicken 1 minute on each side or until golden brown (see note).
Transfer breasts to a shallow baking dish, seam side down. Bake for 30 minutes; remove toothpicks before serving.
NOTE: Breasts can be prepared in advance to this point. After frying wrap breasts in foil; freeze. To use, thaw in refrigerator; bake as directed above.
