Coconut Lime Chicken

Well I saw the original Coconut Chicken on Pinterest and it looked awesome and deep fried.  It's  pretty delicious and with the lime gives it a Hawaiian flavor.  I think it needs a creamy warm pineapple dip, but I haven't figured it out yet-until then barbeque sauce will have to do.

Okay, mine didn't look very appetizing when I took a picture at night and with my little camera.  Pic from here

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
flour
1 egg
1 cup of panko (I only had seasoned bread crumbs)
1 cup of Shredded Coconut
Canola oil for frying
1/4 cup of lime juice

Directions: 
1.  Cut chicken into strips about 2 inches wide or narrower for crispier chicken. 
2.  Place egg, flour, and panko with coconut in their own shallow pan.  Dip chicken in egg, then flour, then panko mixture.
3.  Heat oil in pan.  Place chicken in oil until golden brown then turn to brown other side.  When both sides are browned sprinkle lime juice on chicken and cover with lid.  Turn down to medium low and heat until chicken comes up to temp (185).  Enjoy!
