Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Olive oil cooking spray, for the wire rack and chicken
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 1/2 cups whole wheat panko crumbs
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, preferably Bob's Red Mill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup store-bought mango chutney
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 jalapeno, small dice
Serving suggestions: iceberg lettuce, diced carrots, diced tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large or have blemishes, as these may be bitter.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If your zucchini are different sizes, slice them into different thicknesses so that they all cook in the same amount of time.
  • Coat the zucchini in oil and seasoning. This will help them crisp up in the oven. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices. Season the zucchini with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like.
  • Bake the zucchini at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy. Bake the zucchini at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the zucchini with your favorite dipping sauce. The mango-jalapeno dipping sauce is a great option, but you can also use ranch dressing, hummus, or any other dip you like.

Conclusion:

Crispy baked coconut zucchini with mango-jalapeno dipping sauce is a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. The zucchini is crispy and flavorful, and the dipping sauce adds a sweet and spicy kick. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences.
