  • 100g unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 50g panko breadcrumbs
  • 5g salt
  • 2g black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Optional (plan-ahead): If you’re shopping for the week, I put this into a 4-Week Meal Plan + Grocery Lists so dinner’s already decided before your day gets busy.

Instructions

  1. Prep Oven & Pan: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet.
  2. Combine Coating: Mix coconut, panko, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Make Egg Wash: Whisk egg with coconut milk.
  4. Coat Chicken: Dry chicken, dip in egg, then press into coconut mixture.
  5. Sear Chicken: Sear in hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Bake Chicken: Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through.
  7. Make Sauce: Simmer coconut cream, lime zest, juice, ginger, honey, soy sauce, and chili.
  8. Simmer Sauce: Simmer sauce for 5-7 minutes, until thickened.
  9. Plate & Garnish: Drizzle chicken with sauce, sprinkle with coconut flakes and cilantro.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry for a crispier crust. Press the coconut mixture firmly onto the chicken. Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing.
