Author Notes: This recipe comes to us from chef Gianni Respinto of Darrel & Oliver's East City Grill in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Gianni likes to serve this chicken as salad plate, combined with his Black Bean Pineapple Salsa and Boniato Plantain Smash.

Ingredients: 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 cups ground macadamia nuts
4 cups ground banana chips
2 cups shredded coconut
2 cups flour
4 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups olive oil for frying
Instructions: Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Coat chicken breasts in flour, then dip in egg, then coat on both sides with the dry mixture. Fry in hot olive oil until browned on both sides. Remove from oil and finish cooking in a 350°F oven. Serve immediately.

Presentation with smash and salsa
If you'd like to serve this, like Gianni, with his boniato plantain smash and black bean pineapple salsa, here's the lowdown:

Put salsa down on a plate, then the boniato smash, then the chicken on top. Finish with additional salsa and garnish with cilantro sprigs.
