Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ pounds chicken breast tenders
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
15 gingersnap cookies, crushed
¼ cup shredded coconut
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large bowl. Pour enough of the coconut milk over the chicken to completely cover; refrigerate 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Arrange coated chicken pieces in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Scatter the butter pieces over the chicken. Pour enough coconut milk into the dish to cover the bottom of the dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink, about 40 minutes.
