This recipe incorporates honey roasted peanuts into the coating mix, rich and smooth coconut milk, and Panko breadcrumbs creating a rich and crunchy coating that is delicious.

I used boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe but I think chicken cutlets would also work out very well if you prefer white meat.

If you like honey roasted peanuts, don’t pass this one up, it’s fantastic.
