Coconut Almond Crumbed Chicken

Some evenings all I want is a simple, speedy but still healthy and tasty supper.
Coconut Almond Crumbed Chicken Goujons
It takes less time than perusing a takeout menu, phoning to order, then waiting for delivery. No wasted packaging or unnecessary fuel on the delivery. Best of all, no unknown or unwanted ingredients lurking unseen!

Served with roast parsnip, mashed roast butternut squash and broccoli
This can be made as whole chicken breast portions or sliced into goujon size strips or even nugget shapes, which children love to eat as finger food.
