Ingredients

  • 4 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
  • 1 ripe mango - peeled and cut into eight 1-inch wide strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon finely crumbled dried thyme
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • vegetable oil for deep frying, or as needed
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  • Place a prosciutto slice on each chicken breast. Trim prosciutto to fit inside the chicken breast with a 1/2-inch border of chicken.
  • Place 2 slices mango in the center of each prosciutto slice.
  • Roll the chicken breast lengthwise to completely enclose the mango and prosciutto. Tuck and pinch the ends to seal rolls tightly.
  • Arrange chicken rolls on a baking sheet and refrigerate until very firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Combine flour, salt, curry powder, black pepper, and thyme in a bowl. Pour mixture onto a plate.
  • Pour beaten eggs onto a separate plate.
  • Sprinkle coconut onto a third plate.
  • Slice chicken rolls into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Roll chicken in the flour mixture and shake off any excess flour.
  • Coat chicken in the beaten egg until completely covered; allow excess egg to drip off.
  • Roll chicken in coconut.
  • Arrange the coated chicken rolls on a plate in a single layer. Cover and refrigerate to allow coating to set, 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep, heavy skillet to immerse chicken rolls. Turn heat to medium.
  • Fry half the chicken rolls in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove chicken rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on several layers of paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken rolls.
  • Place chicken rolls on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 minutes.
  • Splash chicken rolls with lime juice and serve alongside lime wedges.
