"Here's a crunchy treat with lots of flavor; high protein, antioxidants in nuts and low saturated fat -- an alternative to deep-fried chicken."

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Put yogurt in a small bowl, and set aside. In a shallow pie plate, combine coconut, panko and pecans.
- Dip chicken strips in yogurt to cover, then roll in panko mixture. Place strips on an 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.

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.

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 ...
