The websites I pulled these recipes from (www.ourbestbites.com and www.rhodesbread.com) all have fantastic pictures and instructions, so it seemed a little redundant for me to post them again. Just click on the links above to find the recipes.
I will say that the chicken turned out so good that Kory had to remove himself from the table to avoid eating all the leftovers I purposely made. The texture and taste were both perfect. I originally assumed these would be sweet since you coat them in sweetened coconut, but they were definitely more savory because of the panko breading, curry powder, and other spices. I skewered one for my daughter and she just kept saying "num num," which nearly brought tears to my eyes.
The rice was also very tasty. Don't go light on the green onions though. I know it sounds weird to mix sugar, green onions, and coconut milk together, but the green onions really do give it a fantastic flavor.
And as for the rolls, they were really good as well. My only advice would be to cut the amount of the coconut/sugar mixture you put on them by at least half. I halved the recipe in the first place (since there's no way we could ever eat 18 rolls) and still didn't use all the mixture that it called for. Even still the bottoms ended up a tiny bit soggy from the excess coconut milk that accumulated at the bottom of the pan during cooking, so maybe just brush the tops and sides of the rolls with the coconut milk/sugar mixture to ensure that they don't end up soggy. Since I had extra coconut milk/sugar mixture, I poured it into small cups and stuck popsicle sticks inside. I then popped them into the freezer and we had a very tasty treat the next day.
This was a fantastic meal and will be added to my future menus for sure.
Note: I know I have a few family members who are not big fans of coconut. I will say that the chicken and rice did not have powerful coconut flavors to them. They were both just really good. It might be worth a try even if you don't love coconut.
