Coconut-Curry Chicken Fingers With Cashews

Submitted by KT9791

"These are yummy healthy chicken fingers with a little crunch. Came out of a fitness magazine. Instead of layering on spinach leaves, I threw on top an Asian salad with some ginger honey dressing. I'll definitely make again. My only issue was with the coconut-cornflake-cashew mixture. I didn't have enough to coat all the chicken, so had to make more. But that was easy enough."

• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 907.18 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry
• 1.23 ml salt
• 1.23 ml fresh ground black pepper
• 295.73 ml light coconut milk
• 236.59 ml skim milk
• 51.76 ml red curry paste
• 177.44 ml roasted cashews, salted
• 177.44 ml unsweetened flaked coconut
• 177.44 ml corn flakes
• 283.49 g bag Baby Spinach

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
2. Cut the chicken into 3-by-1/2-inch strips; season with salt and pepper.
3. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together one cup of the coconut milk, the skim milk, and 1 1/2 Tablespoons curry paste.
4. In a food processor, pulse together the cashews and coconut until finely chopped. Add the cornflakes and pulse until coarse. Transfer mixture to a wide, shallow bowl.
5. One by one, dip the chicken strips in the coconut milk mixture, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Place the chicken in the cashew mixture and turn to coat evenly. Transfer each chicken finger to the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake the chicken fingers in the over, turning once halfway through, until they are golden all over, about 10 minutes.
7. While the chicken cooks, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup coconut milk and remaining 2 Tablespoons curry paste. Divide the spinach on plates and top with the chicken fingers. Drizzle the chicken fingers and spinach with the sauce and serve.
