A healthier version of chicken nuggets with a crispy coconut crust.
Coconut Crusted Chicken Nuggets
Chicken nuggets are a childhood classic, but who says adults can’t enjoy them too? Especially when they’re Coconut Crusted Chicken Nuggets! These nuggets are crispy, flavorful, and a whole lot healthier than their fast-food counterparts.
I remember the first time I made these nuggets. It was a Friday night, and I was craving something crispy and delicious. Traditional nuggets seemed too plain, so I decided to give them a tropical makeover with shredded coconut. The result? Nuggets that are crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor.
To make these nuggets, cut one pound of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Dip each piece into beaten eggs, then coat with a mixture of one cup of shredded coconut and one cup of breadcrumbs. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve them in a coconut bowl for that extra touch of tropical flair. These nuggets are perfect for kids and adults alike, and they’re sure to be a hit at your next dinner party!
