Toast the coconut in a dry nonstick skillet until golden, being careful not to burn it. Leave to cool on a plate.
Season the chicken breast with 2 pinches of salt and the curry powder. Heat 1 tsp (5 ml) oil in a skillet (frying pan). Add chicken and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn and cover; cook on low heat for another 4 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Peel the kiwi, cut in half lengthwise and slice thinly. Peel the papaya, remove the seeds with a spoon and slice thinly.
While the chicken breast is still warm, slice and arrange on a plate with the fruit.
Combine the vinegar and 1 tsp (5 ml) oil in a small bowl. Stir in ginger, sambal oelek and 2 pinches of salt. Season with 2 to 3 dashes of sweetener and drizzle over the salad. Sprinkle with coconut and serve immediately.
