Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 c shredded coconut
  • 1/2 c Panko
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Beat egg in small, deep bowl.
  • Combine coconut, Panko, and seasonings in another small, deep bowl.
  • Cube the chicken breasts into 1" pieces.
  • Dip each cube into the egg, then the coconut mixture. Press the chicken into the coconut mixture to make sure it sticks evenly on all sides.
  • Place on a parchment lined large baking sheet. Do not crowd the chicken pieces.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until brown. Turn the pieces over halfway through cooking time.

Notes

Some cooks prefer to brush or drizzle melted butter on top of the coconut bites before baking them.
