1 large egg
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup fine breadcrumbs
SPICY ORANGE HONEY DIP

DIRECTIONS
Pat the chicken strips dry and season generously with salt & pepper.
Beat the egg in a pie plate or shallow bowl.
In a separate pie plate or shallow bowl add the coconut and breadcrumbs, mix until well combined.
Roll the chicken strips in the egg and shake off any excess then roll in the coconut mixture lightly pressing the mixture into the chicken to help it adhere. Place the coated chicken strips onto a plate and refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes.
