Want to give your chicken cutlet a little something extra? Mix shredded coconut with breadcrumbs to create a flavorful, super crisp coating—perfect for dipping in sriracha mayo and serving alongside a smashed cucumber salad. Be sure to seek out unsweetened shredded coconut rather than thick flakes or chips; their finer texture makes a great stand-in for breadcrumbs. To make this recipe fully gluten-free, you can swap in gluten-free panko and use rice flour instead of all-purpose flour for the breading.
