coconut chicken

sounds like an interesting meal option to try next time I have a can of coconut milk open:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 fl oz (1/4 cup) coconut milk
2 tbsp fresh, whole wheat breadcrumbs
2 tsp shredded coconut

Marinate the chicken breast in coconut milk in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 deg F (190 deg C).
Combine the breadcrumbs and coconut in a bowl.
Remove the chicken from the coconut milk and shake off any excess liquid.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Pour the remaining coconut milk marinade into a small oven-proof dish and place the chicken breast on top.
Bake in the oven for around 45 mins until cooked through.
