Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Cut 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the panko-coconut mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the pineapple salsa by dicing 1 cup of fresh pineapple, 1/4 cup of red onion, and 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro.
In a bowl, combine the diced ingredients with the juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Once the chicken is done, serve it hot with the pineapple salsa on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your tropical-inspired dinner!
