Coconut & Sweet Potato Crusted Chicken With Peanut Sauce






Ingredients: 
 Organic chicken breast strips or cut up breasts
2 cups of Sweet potato Chips crushed or food processed ( I use Terra chips)
1 cup shredded coconut
1-2 beaten eggs

Peanut Sauce:
1 TBS red curry paste
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup organic peanut butter
1 small lime juiced
1-2 cloves garlic
2-3 TBS honey to taste
blend in blender till smooth and creamy

Angel hair pasta  of choice ( I use Gluten free pasta here or you can serve on a salad)


For the chicken:

mix sweet potato chips &  coconut ( I pulse in my food processor but putting it in a plastic baggie is fine to combine it)

place coconut mixture in a bowl

place beaten eggs in a bowl

Dredge chicken in the the egg, then coconut mixture and press firmly to coat.

Place chicken in a heated skillet with oil. ( I use coconut oil).  brown the chicken on both sides about 3 -4 minutes per side till brown and crispy.


Peanut Sauce:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend.  Adjust seasonings to taste.  I make Gluten free angel hair pasta  to place the chicken on and drizzle the sauce all over the noodles.  This is a great kid friendly recipe too!
