Coconut Pecan Chicken

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups plain fat-free yogurt
  • 2/3 cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 2/3 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs) (or try stuffing mix, processed small)
  • ¼ tsp curry powder
  • pinch garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut in 1-inch wide strips

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Put yogurt in a small bowl, and set aside. In a shallow pie plate, combine coconut, panko, curry, garlic powder, and pecans.
  3. Dip chicken strips in yogurt to cover, then roll in panko mixture. Place strips on an oil-sprayed baking sheet. Spray top of chicken. 
  4. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, and bake 15 more minutes. Check that coating browns but does not burn. 
  5. If desired, broil 2 minutes for an even crunchier top.
