Hi!

I am a mother of 2 small babes who motivate me to continue turning my passion into business. I am a lover of all things food & hospitality. I work as a private chef here in Nashville, TN & do private catering for various events from corporate gigs to studio sessions. My favorite part about cooking is the element of gathering people from all walks of life together with one thing in common. Enjoying a meal together. I grew up with a family that taught me through the generations that food is love. I hope that here you find some joy, some memories & some long lasting recipes to fill your home (& bellies)!

Oven Baked Coconut Chicken Tenders W/ Creamy Mango Dip

Oven Baked Coconut Chicken Tenders W/ Creamy Mango Dip

These taste like vacation. The mango and coconut pair so well together. I love how they are oven baked so they are a healthy alternative to the typically fried dish.

Oven Baked Coconut Chicken Tenders W/ Creamy Mango Dip

1 pack chicken tenders

2 eggs

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 

3/4 cup panko

1 tsp salt

.5 tsp smoked paprika 

Creamy mango dipping sauce

1/2 mango

1/2 cup mayo 

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp salt 

Juice of 1 lime

Optional: Dash of hot sauce 

Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk 2 eggs in one bowl and add the tenders to egg mixture. Stir together until all chicken is covered. Pulse coconut in a food processor until smaller pieces form. Pour into a bowl and add panko, salt & paprika. Take tenders from egg one at a time and dredge in coconut on each side. Place on baking sheet & bake for 16-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with sweet chili sauce or creamy mango dipping sauce. To make mango dipping sauce, in a food processor blend all ingredients together & serve.
