Coconut Chicken Bites with Pina Colada Sauce image

This is an adaption of another recipe. I recently took it to a Pot luck, the chicken bites disappeared quickly and everyone wanted the recipe. The chicken can be left in larger pieces for a main course, just adjust the baking time to assure that your chicken is fully cooked. This is a pleasant change to the coconut shrimp....

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond flour for the shredded coconut. It worked great and the chicken bites were still delicious.

This is my new favorite recipe! The chicken bites are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the pina colada sauce is to die for. I've already made it twice and I'm planning on making it again next week.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken bites turned out dry and tough. The pina colada sauce was good though.

I had a hard time finding unsweetened shredded coconut, but I finally found some at a specialty grocery store. It was worth the effort, because the chicken bites were amazing.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The pina colada sauce was amazing and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
