Clean Coconut Crusted Chicken

I quickly get bored with chicken breast so I am forever looking at ways to make it more exciting and more appealing to me because it’s so high in protein and so lean.  After much experimentation I came up with me Clean Coconut Crumbed Chicken recipe. The beauty about this recipes is it’s gluten free, dairy free and increases the protein, essential fatty acids and nutrient content to the chicken meal.
