  Really enjoyed this - I used double amount of vinegar as the red onions still had a bit of bite that needed taming.

  This was really easy & quick to make. Chicken was maybe a little dry, soon remedied with a splash of lime juice.

  Really enjoyed this dish, we had it with rice had hubby hates red onion! Cooked the rice with chicken stock and added some peas, went really well together. Chicken & coconut was lovely and very moist.

  Didn't enjoy this dish as much as I had thought we would. The children said it was too dry, but they didn't have much of the salad which really did need to be included. I much prefer the Salmon with Spiced Coconut Crumbs if you're looking for a crumb coating with coconut.

  Good recipe, right up my street. Jazz it up a bit, as I did. Scatter some roughly chopped fresh coriander leaves over the cucumber and red onion salad. Add finely chopped red chilli in the vinegar/sugar mix. My coconut chicken breasts weren't as beautifully even golden as the picture though. I think the chicken breasts would have to be over cooked, and therefore dried out, to achieve that. Could try dry frying the coconut first to get a golden colour before dressing the chicken breast and going in the oven.
