Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    Place the flour, egg and coconut in separate shallow bowls. Season the egg. Coat each piece of chicken in flour and shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in coconut to coat. Place on the prepared tray. Spray the chicken with olive oil spray. Bake for 25-30 mins or until chicken is cooked through.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, cook the asparagus in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 2 mins or until bright green and tender crisp. Refresh under cold water. Drain well. Cut in half lengthways.

  4. Step 4

    Combine rocket, asparagus, radish and snow peas in a bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine. Transfer to a large platter with the chicken. Combine the mayonnaise, water and dip in a small bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the chicken and salad with the mayonnaise mixture.
