Coconut Chicken

Submitted by Jill Jessop

1 cup flour, divided

1 egg

1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

2-4 boneless chicken breasts

¼ cup butter, melter

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

2. Place ½ cup flour into a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg, set aside

3. In another bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup flower with coconut, garlic powder, salt and pepper

4. Working with one chicken breast at a time, dip the chicken into plain flour and coat. Then dip in the beaten egg and then coat with coconut mixture. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.

5. Once all the chicken breasts are coated and on the baking sheet, evenly drizzle with the melted butter.

6.Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping once halfway.

** I cut the chicken into smaller chunks- its easier to eat and you get more of the yummy coating!
