Ingredients

COCONUT CHICKEN:

1 1/2 tsps. seasoned salt

1/2 tsp. Chinese five spice powder

2 tbsps. Smucker's® Creamy Natural Peanut Butter

1/4 cup fat free milk

1 1/4 cups panko bread crumbs

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1 (1 lb.) pkg. boneless skinless chicken breast tenders

1/4 cup Crisco® Puritan Canola Oil with Omega-3 DHA

APRICOT-GINGER SAUCE:

1 (10.25 oz.) jar Smucker's® Apricot Low Sugar Preserves, (1 cup)

1 tbsp. lite soy sauce

1/2 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice

3/4 tsp. dark Asian sesame oil

1/2 tsp. finely grated gingerroot

Directions

COMBINE seasoned salt, five spice powder, peanut butter and milk in a shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs and coconut in another shallow bowl. Coat chicken in peanut butter mixture, dip into breading mixture. Pat to coat well.
HEAT oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken tenders slowly to achieve even browning, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed.
COMBINE preserves, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil and gingerroot in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 20 to 30 seconds or until warmed through; stir. Serve warm with chicken as a dipping sauce.
