Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 pounds chicken tenders
½ cup coconut flour
½ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 ½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
3 eggs, beaten
avocado oil cooking spray
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 firm ripe bananas, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup thinly sliced fresh pineapple
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons coconut milk
1 passion fruit, pulp scooped out

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Pour the can of coconut milk into a large bowl. Add chicken tenders and toss to coat.
  • Combine coconut flour, almond flour, salt, ginger, cayenne pepper, and turmeric on a large plate or in a shallow dish. Place shredded coconut and eggs in separate shallow bowls.
  • Roll each chicken tender in the flour mixture. Dip in the egg and roll in coconut. Place tenders on the prepared sheet pan; coat with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the largest chicken tender reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes. Broil until outsides are browned and toasted if desired, 1 to 2 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully to avoid scorching.
  • Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and salt; stir to dissolve. Add bananas and pineapple; cook, stirring gently, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine cornstarch and coconut milk in a small bowl; stir into the skillet with the fruit mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add passion fruit pulp. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve sauce over the coconut chicken tenders.

The chicken fingers were a bit dry, but the passion fruit sauce was delicious.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be great for people who like sweet and sour flavors.
