Oven baked Panko, parsley and coconut chicken tenders

Easy & popular dinner in our house, you can pop them in wraps or serve them with salad, chips or even steamed vegetables. Great if you’re trying to limit fats in the diet!

Ingredients (serves 4)

800g chicken tenderloins
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup Dessicated coconut
Small bunch Parsley
1 cup plain flour
1 egg

Method

Mix bread crumbs with coconut and parsley and season with salt & pepper
Prepare your tenderloins by coating first in flour, then egg wash, then crumb mixture. Press into crumbs firmly to ensure a nice thick crust (This ensures chicken stays moist)
Pop onto an oven tray prepared with cooking spray & bake for 20-30 minutes at a moderate heat (180' fan forced) or until golden brown on both sides, you may have to turn pieces over once.

Notes

you can have almost any sauce with these, great on nights we cant agree! Some have sweet chilli wraps, others Caesar & the littlest just dips them in tomato sauce!

Coconut is such an interesting addition to this recipe. I’ll be interested to see what it adds taste wise. I love recipes like this, where you can make the basic and then let each family member eat it in a slightly different way if they want. Using a variety of sauces is particularly handy.

I love using panko crumbs, they crisp up so well. I have never thought to add coconut as well. Sound interesting

Panko bread crumbs make such a big difference to the end product when cooking schnitzels

This sounds delish. We love crumbed tenders thrown in rice or a salad or in wraps. So many options.

WHat a delicious sounding crumb! Will have to give it a try. Aioli sounds like the winning dip to me

Crumb chicken is always a hit in this house but I am loving the coconut and parsley twist to your recipe. It will definitely be on the menu this week to try!
