Coconut Chicken

I love coconut!  There is something so tropical about it that it kinda makes you feel like you are on a beach somewhere drinking a pina colada!  OK, maybe not really, but I do love it!  In this recipe I use coconut to bread chicken tenders and then bake them so it gets really crispy!  Mmmm, so good!

Start with Sweetened Coconut Flakes...

Combine 1 Cup Coconut Flakes and 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs.  This will be the breading.

In seperate bowl mix 1/2 Cup Milk and 2 eggs. 
Cut your chicken into long "tenders" and season them with salt and pepper.

Dip each tender into the egg wash and then into the coconut.  Lay on lined baking sheet and back at 375 for 15 minutes then flip over and bake 10 minutes more. 

I served mine with a salad...but they would be delicious by themselves as well!
