Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, combine mango, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with 1 tsp water and 1/2 tsp salt. Place coconut in another shallow bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the coconut. Press to coat.
