Time 50m

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Olive oil cooking spray, for the wire rack and chicken
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 1/2 cups whole wheat panko crumbs
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, preferably Bob's Red Mill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup store-bought mango chutney
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 jalapeno, small dice
Serving suggestions: iceberg lettuce, diced carrots, diced tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • For the chicken tenders: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray.
  • Create a 3-step breading process in 3 separate shallow bowls. Put the coconut flour in the first bowl, eggs and coconut milk in the second bowl, whisked to combine, and panko, coconut, salt and pepper in the last bowl, stirred to combine.
  • Pat the chicken dry and add it to the coconut flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg mixture, making sure to coat the chicken entirely. Lastly, lay the chicken in the panko mixture, turning it over and pressing into the breading to coat evenly. Place on the wire rack. Spray the chicken with additional cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
  • For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the chutney, yogurt and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
  • To serve this as a salad, combine the iceberg, carrots, tomatoes and red cabbage together in a bowl. Whisk the apple cider vinegar into the mango dipping sauce to make a dressing. Lightly dress the salad with the mango dressing. Top with the coconut chicken and serve.

BAKED CRISPY COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE



Baked Crispy Coconut Chicken Tenders Recipe image

Enjoy restaurant quality chicken tenders with this baked crispy coconut chicken recipe.

Provided by Momma Cyd

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon curry powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
⅙ teaspoon cayenne pepper ((optional))
½ cup flour
2 eggs
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken tenders
1 Tablespoon olive oil
½ cup apricot preserves
1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Roughly chop the coconut so it's about the same size as the Panko pieces. Combine it with Panko and spices in a shallow dish. Mix well to distribute all of the spices.
  • Place the flour in another shallow dish, and the eggs in another. Give the eggs a quick beating.
  • Working with one chicken tender at a time, dredge in flour and then dip in egg, and then finally coat in the coconut Panko mixture. Press in with your fingers to make sure the entire thing is well coated.
  • Place chicken tenders on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. I give mine a tiny drizzle of olive oil on top to help them crisp nicely.
  • Bake in your 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until juices run clear. Try not to overcook them because chicken tenders go from perfect to overcooked really fast! If your tenders are on the small side, they could even be done in about 15 minutes so keep an eye on them. If they're big they can take more like 25. The coconut will be nice and golden and the Panko crisp, but light in color still.
  • To make the dipping sauce, combine the preserves, rice wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until blended.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut adds a delicious flavor and aroma to the chicken fingers. If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor won't be as pronounced.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken fingers are best when they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Make sure the passion fruit sauce is well chilled: The passion fruit sauce is best when it is served cold. This will help to balance out the spicy chicken fingers.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, add a pop of color and flavor to the chicken fingers.

Conclusion:

Baked coconut chicken fingers with passion fruit sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The chicken fingers are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the passion fruit sauce is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
