This is another Mr. Food recipe that is prepared on the grill. Mr. Food is often on in the morning during my local news while I am eating breakfast and if I see a recipe that sounds good I post it here to make at a later date. That's why I have so many Mr. Food recipes listed here.

COCONUT CHICKEN BITES WITH PINA COLADA SAUCE



Coconut Chicken Bites with Pina Colada Sauce image

This is an adaption of another recipe. I recently took it to a Pot luck, the chicken bites disappeared quickly and everyone wanted the recipe. The chicken can be left in larger pieces for a main course, just adjust the baking time to assure that your chicken is fully cooked. This is a pleasant change to the coconut shrimp....

Number Of Ingredients 14

CHICKEN
1 1/2 lb chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
1 c flour
1/2 c panko bread crumbs
1 c coconut
salt and pepper for seasoning
1/2 c buttermilk
1/2 c melted butter
SAUCE
1 c brown sugar
1/4 lb butter
1/3 c flour
1 1/2 c pineapple juice
1/2 c coconut milk

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in sauce pan.
  • 2. Add brown sugar and stir over med heat until sugar is melted and browns slightly.
  • 3. Add flour, stirring until well blended over med heat. Mixture will thicken.
  • 4. Add juice and coconut milk to sauce mixture. While cooking over low heat mixture will thicken, stir occasionally. While sauce is simmering prepare chicken.
  • 5. Cut raw chicken into bite size pieces.
  • 6. Place chicken pieces into a bowl with the buttermilk.
  • 7. Place flour, panko, coconut and seasonings in plastic bag, mix well. Place chicken in bag, a few pieces at a time and shake to cover well.
  • 8. Place chicken pieces on parchment lined baking pan. Drizzle with melted butter.
  • 9. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes until cooked through and browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a tender and juicy result.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the pineapple-coconut mixture not only adds flavor but also helps keep it moist during cooking.
  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple chunks add a tropical sweetness and tang to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if overcooked, so cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve with a side of rice or vegetables: Pina colada chicken pairs well with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Pina colada chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a casual weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful pineapple-coconut mixture and then grilled or baked until tender and juicy. The result is a tropical-inspired dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
