Coconut chicken with apricot sauce

This is a favorite chicken recipe for our family. I love combining fruit with meat because of the taste and moistness it gives the meat. This recipe calls for breading the chicken with a mixture of flour and coconut and I love the crunch the coconut gives the breading! Oh and let me just say something about this sauce...it is AMAZING. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Ingredients: 

Flour

1 cup Buttermilk

1 Egg

1 cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes

½ tsp Garlic Powder

½ cup Bread Crumbs

½ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Black Pepper

3 tb Canola Oil

4 Boneless Chicken Breasts

Sauce:

¼ cup Apricot Preserves

½ tb White Vinegar

1 tb Soy Sauce

Directions: 

Combine sauce ingredients. Bring to a light boil then let simmer while chicken is prepared.

Prepare 3 bowls: flour, beaten egg and buttermilk, and coconut with breadcrumbs. Keeping chicken thinly sliced, season w/ s&p. Dredge first in flour, then egg, and then coconut mixture. Saute on stove until chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through. 

Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
