NUTTY CHICKEN FINGERS

Contributed by Carolyn Heaton
  • 1-1/2 cups plain fat-free yogurt
  • 2/3 cups sweetened coconut flakes
  • 2/3 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1-1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
Preheat oven to 450°.

Dip chicken strips in yogurt and then roll in mixture of coconut, panko and pecans. 

Place strips on and oil-sprayed baking sheet. Spray top of chicken. 

Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake 15 more minutes. Check that coating browns but does not burn. If desired broil 2 minutes for an even crunchier top.
