Coconut Macadamia Crusted Chicken Breasts image

dad...this one's for you! Simple, and virtually no sodium. If you use the organic unsweetened coconut and unsalted butter you'll really only have 26mg of sodium per chicken breast. (the nutrition facts listed is based on sweetened coconut and salted butter). The amount of 1/2 and 1/2 used has 24mg sodium, the amount of sesame seeds used has 1mg sodium, and the amount of flour used has 1mg sodium (per serving).

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was moist and tender, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

The crust was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the chicken was cooked well.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the crust was amazing. I would recommend using a different chicken breast cooking method.

I made this last night and it was delicious! I used almond flour instead of coconut flour, and it turned out great.
