Crispy Coconut-Lime Chicken Bites with Mango Salsa

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

In another bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and the juice of 1 lime. 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 coconut-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Place the coated chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the mango salsa by dicing 1 ripe mango, 1/4 cup of red onion, and 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro.

In a bowl, combine the diced mango, onion, cilantro, and the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt to taste.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the crispy chicken bites with the fresh mango salsa on the side for dipping.

Enjoy your tropical-inspired meal!
