Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 40 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
2/3 cup crushed multigrain crackers
1/3 cup flaked coconut
1 jar mango chutney (9 oz)
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp curry powder
8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 cup cooked brown rice
Heat oven to 375. Combine cracker crumbs and coconut and place in a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup chutney. In another bowl, combine remaining chutney, lime juice and curry powder. Dip chicken pieces in chutney mixture, then roll in crumb mixture.
Bake chicken on a foil lined pan for 40 minutes or until done. Cover loosely with aluminum foil for last ten minutes to prevent overbrowning.
Toss peas with reserved chutney ans cook in microwave for 2 minutes. Combine peas with rice.
Tips and Tricks
In place of drumsticks, I used about a pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips. If you do this, reduce your cooking time. I also slightly reduced the amount of curry, and I used Italian bread crumbs instead of crackers.
Make It Healthier
Use trans-fat free crackers.

This went down really well with our family of 4, though I increased the recipe by 50%- just enough leftovers to take for lunch at work the next day! If you use crackers- even whole grain- check for added sugar- there can be a surprising amount. Also, I pulsed the coconut in the food processor, to get it a bit finer. The second time we had this we added curry toppings (raisins, crispy onions, etc.)
