Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 pounds chicken tenders
½ cup coconut flour
½ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 ½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
3 eggs, beaten
avocado oil cooking spray
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 firm ripe bananas, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup thinly sliced fresh pineapple
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons coconut milk
1 passion fruit, pulp scooped out

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Pour the can of coconut milk into a large bowl. Add chicken tenders and toss to coat.
  • Combine coconut flour, almond flour, salt, ginger, cayenne pepper, and turmeric on a large plate or in a shallow dish. Place shredded coconut and eggs in separate shallow bowls.
  • Roll each chicken tender in the flour mixture. Dip in the egg and roll in coconut. Place tenders on the prepared sheet pan; coat with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the largest chicken tender reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes. Broil until outsides are browned and toasted if desired, 1 to 2 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully to avoid scorching.
  • Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and salt; stir to dissolve. Add bananas and pineapple; cook, stirring gently, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine cornstarch and coconut milk in a small bowl; stir into the skillet with the fruit mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add passion fruit pulp. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve sauce over the coconut chicken tenders.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Olive oil cooking spray, for the rack and tenders
1/2 cup coconut flour
4 large eggs
1/4 cup coconut milk or 2 percent milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup store-bought mango chutney
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced

Steps:

  • For the chicken tenders: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add a wire rack to a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
  • In 3 separate shallow bowls, create a 3-step breading process. In the first bowl, add the coconut flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt to combine. In the last bowl, add the panko, coconut, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine.
  • Pat the chicken dry and add it to the coconut flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, making sure to coat the chicken entirely. Last, lay the chicken in the panko mixture, turn it over and press into the breading to coat evenly. Place on the prepared rack on the baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. If the chicken is light in color, place under the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
  • For the dipping sauce: Stir together the chutney, yogurt and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
  • Serve the chicken with the dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken fingers are evenly coated, whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow dish. Then, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the coconut breadcrumb mixture.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken fingers in the egg and coconut breadcrumb mixtures.
  • Bake the chicken fingers on a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. If necessary, bake the chicken fingers in batches.
  • For a more flavorful passion fruit sauce, use fresh passion fruit pulp instead of frozen.
  • If you don't have passion fruit, you can substitute another tropical fruit, such as mango or pineapple.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with the passion fruit sauce for dipping.

Conclusion:

These baked coconut chicken fingers with passion fruit sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The chicken fingers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the passion fruit sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
