Oven-Fried Coconut Chicken
from: Kathy Berry

1 C flaked coconut
½ C fine dry seasoned bread crumbs
½ C low-fat buttermilk
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 2 lbs)
2 Tbsp butter, melted

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2) Cube chicken (2 “ or so) or cut into strips. Working in batches, place into shallow pan with buttermilk.
3) In separate shallow dish, mix together coconut and bread crumbs.
4) Roll the chicken coated in buttermilk into coconut mixture until covered on all sides.
5) Spray a 15 x 10 x 1 or a 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan with non-stick spray and arrange coated chicken pieces on tray so pieces don’t touch.
6) Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken pieces and bake for 12-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (170 degrees).
Serve with rice and a vegetable for dinner or with dipping sauce for an appetizer. (Trader Joe’s and Costco sell a sweet chili sauce that is delicious with the chicken.)
