A different take on chicken fingers. A different take on chicken fingers.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    2 - 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1" strips
    3 Tbs. Newman's Own Light Honey Mustard Dressing
    1/2 c. Sweetened Flaked Coconut
    1/4 c. white flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. pepper
    1/4 tsp. garlic powder
    Pam 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.
