Crispy Coconut Chicken

By bunny_cupcake

These buttery, savory-sweet chicken breasts are a crowd pleaser for anyone who enjoys tropical flavors. If you desire, try finishing with a twist of lime!

Ingredients

• 1 c coconut
• 1/2 c flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 chicken breasts
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/3 c butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400f.

In a flat surfaced container, combine coconut, flour, salt, and pepper.

Dip the chicken tenders into the egg, then coat with the coconut mixture.

Drizzle with melted butter and bake for 40 minutes, turning once.

For additional browning/crispiness, I left them under the broiler for another minute or so more.
