Coconut/Macadamia Crusted Chicken

Two of my favorite things- macadamia nuts and coconut!  They are a perfect pair in this recipe.  Pair the chicken with some steamed broccoli and quinoa/lentil mix and you've got a quick and easy dinner.

Coconut Macadamia Crusted Chicken

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a cookie sheet lined with foil with cooking spray. 
• Combine macadamia nuts and coconut in a ziplock baggie. 
• Lay chicken breasts on cookie sheets and baste with egg.  Then sprinkle with nut and coconut mixture.
