Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts; 1 - 1 1/2 cup flaked coconut (I say this as it depends on the size of the breasts.); flour to coat chicken; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 2 eggs, lightly beaten; 1/3 cup butter, melted; Apricot Dipping Sauce; 5 tablespoons apricot preserves; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon curry powder, I use the hot curry powder

Servings: persons

4 chicken breasts
1 - 1 1/2 cup flaked coconut (I say this as it depends on the size of the breasts.)
flour to coat chicken
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
Apricot Dipping Sauce
5 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder, I use the hot curry powder

1
Combine coconut, pepper and garlic in a bowl (Note: If your breasts are larger and you need to use 11/2 cups of coconut add more pepper and garlic powder.).
2
Dust breasts in flour shake off excess, dip breast into egg and then into coconut press mixture firmly onto breast.
3
Place breasts in a lightly oiled oven proof pan, drizzle melted butter over and bake in a preheated oven 180-190u00b0C for 25-30 minutes or until chicken breasts are browned and cooked through, turn the pan once during cooking.
4
Apricot Dipping Sauce.
5
While the breasts are cooking combine all the sauce ingredients in a pan and heat and stir until well combined. You can leave the sauce on a low heat while the breasts finish cooking, just stir occasional. This also helps the curry flavour to come through.
6
Serve with your favourite vegetables and fries or mash what ever you like.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
