Ingredients
2 - 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1" strips3 Tbs. Newman's Own Light Honey Mustard Dressing1/2 c. Sweetened Flaked Coconut1/4 c. white flour1/2 tsp. salt1/4 tsp. pepper1/4 tsp. garlic powderPam Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place chicken strips in a large plastic sealable bag or tightly covered bowl. Add the dressing, kneading the bag to make sure all chicken pieces are covered. Add a little water to dressing if more coverage is needed. Marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator.

Mix together coconut, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Dip chicken pieces in mixture, being sure to press coconut onto chicken.

Place on a 11 x 15 baking sheet. Spray lightly with Olive Oil spray and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken runs clear and no pink remains when pierced with a fork.

Use to top a salad or dip in dijon mustard for a great lo-cal, high-protein snack.
