Questions & Replies

  1. I have made coconut chicken and made a sauce of apricot preserves, add a little amount of water and a few red pepper flakes to taste. Heat it or have it at room temp. Makes a good dipping sauce for the coconut.
     
  2. How do I prepare the dip without cream. I can not have dairy or eggs?

  1. WOW! These were so good, I would give them 10 stars! I actually made these kabob style and that turned out great and was perfect for dipping. I baked them on a wire rack on a cookie sheet so that all sides would crisp up and not get soggy/burnt. I used 10oz chicken and cut the rest back to 3 servings worth and that was perfect for 2 people. I was a bit confused about how the 7pts was calculated, since I got more when I entered it into the Ww recipe builder but then again you aren't consuming most of the marinade and really we had more sauce than we needed so I guess it doesn't matter much. We did use the leftover sauce on some shortcakes which was fantastic as well! This is very simple and tastes so gourmet. Perfect for entertaining!
     
  2. Oh, I made this with pork chops, I forgot to pick up the chicken. I was worried, but nobody knew, I screwed up. My dinner party went off w/o a problem. I kept the desert simple w/ the triple layer hello recipe. This recipe desires a 10
     
  3. I love coconut but tend to avoid it b/c it isn't exactly waist-line friendly. However, I saw this recipe and couldn't resist (afterall, it has the WW points right in the title!). I followed the recipe with one exception- I had to use coconut creme instead of coconut milk b/c that's all my grocery store had. I also added a dash of red pepper flakes to the marinade and the coating, and marinated the chicken overnight. This recipe is delicious! I drizzled the pina colada dip over the chicken tenders instead of dipping, and I think that was a great choice b/c it gave the pina colada taste w/o covering up the taste of the chicken. We will DEFINITELY be making this again! Thanks so much for sharing!
     
  4. This is as easy as it sounds. The chicken is moist and dip is wonderful. Enjoy!
     
  5. We enjoyed this recipe very much! Will make this again!

  1. I haven't made this recipe yet, but sounds great. I will use my crisper pan instead of a baking sheet so that the heat will surround the chicken pieces and the bottoms will crisp.

  3. Almost forgot, my grocery store stocks "light" coconut milk.
     
  4. We substituted yogurt in the dip portion , sprinkled with coconut , and didnt add pina colada, it was great and even healthier
     
  5. This was a great recipe. The chicken was so tender. I cut my breasts into strips before I marinated it. I would serve these at a party. The dip was so good too. I used a dash of red pepper flakes instead of the hot pepper sauce.
