Ingredients

For the chicken:
1 lb chicken tenderloins or chicken breasts, sliced into long, 1″ thick strips
1/2 cup matzo cake meal
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
6 Tablespoon canola oil
 
For the dipping sauce:
5 ripe plums, diced
3 Tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

Directions

For the chicken:

Beat eggs in a bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine cake meal and shredded coconut. Dip chicken in egg mixture and then cover in coconut crumbs.

Fry chicken in oil, 3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of chicken) until golden brown. Serve with plum dipping sauce.

For the plum sauce:

In a small sauce pan combine plums, lime juice and sugar. Bring to a boil.

Once the mixture has come to a boil continue to cook for 10- 15 minutes until plums become soft. Allow to cool and add cardamon and cinnamon.

Serve plum sauce at room temperature.
