CRUNCHY MACADAMIA NUT CHICKEN OVER TROPICAL FRUIT PAELLA



Crunchy Macadamia Nut Chicken over Tropical Fruit Paella image

This is a Hawaiian variation of your typical fried chicken. The coating is so good with the macadamia nuts! I have adapted this recipe from the Hali'imaile General Store Cookbook. This is one of Maui's most celebrated restaurants. The rice is amazing and, in my opinion, well worth the time. The mango chutney actually reminds me of an ambrosia taste.The recipe includes a lot of steps and is somewhat time-intensive. Make it on a day when you have the time to enjoy your time cooking. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use ripe fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your wraps will be. If you can't find ripe fruit, you can always roast it in the oven to bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Wrap the wraps tightly: This will help to keep all of the ingredients in place and prevent them from falling out.
  • Serve the wraps immediately: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Tropical Macadamia Chicken Wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet fruit, savory chicken, and crunchy macadamia nuts is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these wraps a try.
