Ingredients

The chicken

  • 1.3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into ½-inch wide strips.

  5. Dip each chicken strip into the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
