Paula’s Recipe of the Month: January 2010
Coconut Chicken

I was talking to mom on the phone this afternoon, and she mentioned how she wished she had some coconut chicken.   Coconut chicken is so yummy!  How had I forgotten about this recipe? Quick change to my dinner plans…we’re having coconut chicken tonight.

Coconut Chicken

• 1 C. flaked coconut
• 1/2 C. flour
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/4 t. black pepper
• 1/4 t. garlic powder
• 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/3 C. butter or margarine, melted

Heat oven to 400° F.

Mix coconut, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in medium bowl. Dip chicken into egg, then coat with coconut mixture. Place in a shallow baking pan. Wash your hands.

Drizzle with melted butter.

Bake 25 minutes or until chicken is browned and cooked through, turning once. If you stick an instant-read thermometer in the center of the chicken breast, it should register 165° F.
