Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups plain fat-free yogurt
⅔ cup sweetened coconut flakes
⅔ cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
½ cup finely chopped pecans
1 ½ pounds chicken breast, cut in 1-inch wide strips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Put yogurt in a small bowl, and set aside. In a shallow pie plate, combine coconut, panko and pecans.
  • Dip chicken strips in yogurt to cover, then roll in panko mixture. Place strips on an oil-sprayed baking sheet. Spray top of chicken. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, and bake 15 more minutes. Check that coating browns but does not burn. If desired, broil 2 minutes for an even crunchier top.

This coconut pecan chicken is the perfect summer dish. It's light and refreshing, and the coconut-pecan coating adds a nice tropical flair. I served it with a side of grilled pineapple and it was a hit.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the coconut-pecan coating was delicious. I think I would have liked it better if the chicken had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the sauce. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
