This was a favorite with everyone in my house. After reading the reviews that the chicken needed a bit more of a kick I added 1/4 tsp. curry (since it goes so well with coconut) a dash of red pepper and a little garlic to my chopper while everything was grinding. I also kept my chicken breasts whole and double dipped them in the coating so they'd be nice and crunchy and cooked them on a rack on a baking sheet so I wouldn't have to flip them. Even the people that don't like coconut liked this one--I gound everything so finely they could only taste the sweetness of the nuts without the texture that they don't like. After my alterations it is 5 stars all the way.

This was exceptional! I did a 'search' for 'chicken' and 'yogurt' and came up w/ this recipe. I substituted stuffing mix unsweetened shredded fresh coconut and walnuts (what I had on hand) and I was delighted with the results! Nice and crispy with a delicate coconut flavor enhanced by the herbs in the stuffing mix. The walnuts toasted up nicely and added another layer of flavor. This one's a keeper -- don't be afraid to play with the ingredients.
This dish was very easy to make and fairly tasty. However I agree that it needs a little extra "something" to give it more punch. After reading the reviews I added a pinch of garlic and 1/4 tsp. curry powder to the dry mix before coating the chicken. I also added salt and pepper. The final product had a nice crunchy texture and wasn't too sweet at all. We liked it quite a bit but it did seem to need some extra seasoning. I like the idea of this recipe enough that I'll probably continue to experiment with it.
This recipe was great because it's healthful and is relatively quick to prepare. The texture and aroma are nice but it does lack a bit in flavor; lightly sprinkle soy sauce on the cooked chicken and you'll be all set. Side note: I used the recipe for "Quick Sesame Green Beans" as a side dish and it complimented the chicken nicely.
This had zero flavor and didn't crisp up. I was expecting it to have a sweet "crust" like on coconut shrimp and this wasn't even close. The yogurt gave it an almost sour flavor.
A great light meal. Perfect with rice pilaf and steamed sugar snap peas. I used boneless skinless chicken breast and cooked at 450 for 15 min then flipped and lowered to 350 for 35-40 mins. I also sprinkled some garlic powder. Very good!
When I rate recipes I rate the recipe and comments together. I never follow a recipe exact anyway. I found these to be fantastic. My husband loved them and thought they were better than any homemade "breaded" chicken he's ever had. I made these using chicken tenders. I didn't have yogurt so I used a beaten egg with a little soy sauce to add salty flavor. I ground the pecans and coconut with a little curry and garlic powder before tossing the mixture with the panko. Then I baked them as directed. Great. I didn't have the fixings but these would also be delicious on a salad with asian dressing.
This is officially my favourite way to eat chicken YUM! I had a bunch of pecans and a bunch of coconut and needed a way to use them. I had this brainstorm that they'd taste good with chicken and found this recipe using the ingredient search. I took the suggestions of other reviewers - added a tsp. of curry paste to the yogurt and some garlic powder to the breading. Unfortunately I didn't have panko but I know it would just be that much yummier with panko! (I used regular bread crumbs instead).
Very tasty! Very Crispy! The whole family loved these!
