Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 Egg whites
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Light coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Crushed pineapple (in 100% juice)
- 0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips or chunks.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with lightly beaten egg whites, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut and panko bread crumbs.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg whites, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the coconut and panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the chicken lightly with cooking spray to help with browning.
Bake the chicken for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the pina colada dip. In a small bowl, mix together the light coconut milk, crushed pineapple, Greek yogurt, and honey until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve the coconut chicken hot with the chilled pina colada dip on the side, and enjoy!
