Printable Version

1 egg
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
½ cup flour
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup butter, melted
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 Tbs. Dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat egg in medium bowl; set aside. Mix the coconut, flour, garlic powder, salt and peeper in a shallow bowl. Working with one chicken breast at a time, dip the chicken in the bowl with the beaten egg and then coat with the coconut mixture.

Place on the baking sheet. Once all the chicken breasts are coated and on the baking sheet, evenly drizzle with the melted butter. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.

Prepare the orange sauce by combining the marmalade and the mustard together. Serve with rice or quinoa.

Serves 4.

  6. I would just like to say I made this recipe the other night, using gluten free flour and substituting the butter for coconut oil. It was so, so, so, juicy and delicious. It was a huge hit with my chef husband too! 5 star recipe!

  7. Love this recipe. It has made it into our weekly rotation. We use wheat flour and use pam instead of the butter and it's still delicious (although I'm sure not as delicious as going full out :) Love it.
