Submitted by Mercy

"This recipe comes from the archives of Coco Casa Cream of Coconut. I have not tried it out yet, but it sounds incredible! I would be tempted to use boneless thighs and breasts and shorten the cooking time."

i was dissapointed with this recipe. the chicken was good. nice and crunchy but not much flavor. i couldn't taste the coconut at all. i think if this was marinated first it probably would have been better. the bananas were interesting- the texture of the cornflakes combined with the warm banana was pretty good. i used chicken breast tenderloins and light coconut milk. i also omitted the butter and used butter spray. if i do make this again i would marinate in the fridge for several hours in the coconut milk. thanks for the recipe. oh- the cooking time was right on.
