Best 4 Baked Coconut Chicken Tenders With Mango Chutney Dipping Sauce Recipes

COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS WITH CREAMY MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
• Place the flour in a shallow bowl or dish. In a second dish, lightly whisk the egg.
• Chop the coconut until it is about the same size as the panko bread crumbs. In a third dish, combine the coconut and panko and season with salt and pepper.
• Working with one chicken tender at a time, dip in the flour to coat, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg. Dip into the coconut/panko mixture, pressing the mixture into the chicken tender if needed. Transfer to the cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken tenders.
• Spray the tops of the tenders lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, combine the mango chutney and sour cream. Serve alongside the chicken tenders.

OVEN FRIED COCONUT CHICKEN WITH MANGO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chicken tenders: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray.
• Create a 3-step breading process in 3 separate shallow bowls. Put the coconut flour in the first bowl, eggs and coconut milk in the second bowl, whisked to combine, and panko, coconut, salt and pepper in the last bowl, stirred 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. Lastly, lay the chicken in the panko mixture, turning it over and pressing into the breading to coat evenly. Place on the wire rack. Spray the chicken with additional cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the chutney, yogurt and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
• To serve this as a salad, combine the iceberg, carrots, tomatoes and red cabbage together in a bowl. Whisk the apple cider vinegar into the mango dipping sauce to make a dressing. Lightly dress the salad with the mango dressing. Top with the coconut chicken and serve.

COCONUT CHICKEN FINGERS WITH 30 MINUTE MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Start the chutney. Place ginger into mini chopper and pulse until finely minced. Add mango pieces, jalapeno, and half of the vinegar. Pulse until finely chopped, but not pureed.
• Pour into heavy bottomed saucepan and add the remaining chutney ingredients. Bring to boil, then reduce to medium heat. Stir often to prevent sticking. Cook until thickened, approx 23 minutes.
• While the chutney is cooking cut chicken breasts into fingers, 4-5 per breast depending on size.
• Make batter. Mix flour, salt, ground ginger, black pepper, water, & lemon juice in large bowl. (The batter will be thin, thinner than pancake batter.) Add chicken fingers & let rest.
• Mix breading. (I lightly pulse the coconut to a smaller size.) Mix the coconut & breadcrumbs. Set aside.
• Fill pan with oil to ½" depth or heat deep fryer. Heat oil.
• Take wet, batter coated chicken fingers and roll in the coconut mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. Drop into hot oil, not crowding the fingers in the pan. Fry until golden & turn with tongs. Complete frying until all sides are golden. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve with a ramekin of the mango chutney for dipping.
