Made this a while back (before I was registered!!) and we loved this!! Used boneless chicken breasts and followed the recipe. Thanks Asha!

Very good. I couldn't find Japanese breadcrumbs so I used seasoned.

I had all of the ingredients except lime juice. I substituted lemon, not as potent but this recipe was great! I enjoyed. I love anything with coconut. Panko should be used. Other bread crumbs are not light tasting like Panko.
