Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse chicken and pat dry. Slice each chicken breast on a 45 degree angle into 3 pieces. Lay chicken pieces out on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and use the bottom of a small pot or pan to gently pound them to 1/4" thickness. Season with a large pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. Add egg whites to a mixing bowl, place chicken in bowl, toss to coat, and refrigerate. Rinse pineapple under warm water if still frozen and dice into bite-size pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem, seed, and thinly slice red bell pepper into sticks (julienne). Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large mixing bowl, combine slaw mix, pineapple pieces, red bell pepper, green onions, half the ginger, sesame seeds, rice vinegar, 1 tsp. olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Taste, and add remaining ginger if desired. Toss to combine and set aside.

  4. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove chicken from egg whites, giving a gentle shake to remove any excess. Place coconut on a plate and generously coat both sides of chicken. Press coconut firmly into place with your palm. Coat chicken a second time with any remaining coconut and again press firmly into place. Place a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil to hot pan. (If you don't have a large pan, work in batches.)

  5. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add chicken to hot oil and cook on one side for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Gently flip and cook 3-5 more minutes, or until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove chicken from pan and allow to rest on a plate.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Divide slaw between two plates and top with chicken. Drizzle sweet and sour sauce over chicken.
