YUM! There is some work involved. Next time I'd like to make my rice the day before. I toasted the coconut and that gave a nice texture to the wrap. I also made a sweet and spicy aoli sauce out of mayo, garlic, saracha and orange marmalade.

I strayed from the recipe a little bit for these. I made the chicken as stated, but I sauteed the onions and some red bell pepper with the lime juice in the pan when I finished cooking the chicken, then added that to the rice (I used Jasmine). I tried making a sauce out of crushed pineapple, ginger, yogurt, and cilantro as another reviewer had mentioned, but it turned out awful and I'm glad I kept it separate. Otherwise this was delicious. Next time I'm going to try baking the chicken instead of frying it to make it a little healthier.

These are AWESOME! I have made these with and without breading and frying them. Our favorite was without - either way they were wonderful! Everyone should try these!

We ate this up! This recipe changes up boring, old chicken and we could taste the cocnut and lime, shich we loved. I will try a sauce next time and add something more spicy, maybe pepper flakes or jalepeno seasoning.

This was delicious, if not a lot of work. The only changes we made were adding cayenne pepper and garam masala to the breading mixture. I think the dish would do well with some sort of chili-lime sauce, but all in all the various flavors blended wonderfully.

The chicken strips were perfect, but on a whole, this recipe was a little bland even though I flavored my rice as others suggested. This definitely needs a sauce of some kind. I will make it again, but with put some thought into making it tastier.

These were certainly interesting. Very unique. Not bad, but not one of our favorites. I made a sauce that I put inside with the chicken made of pineapple, cilantro, red onion and plain yogurt and it seemed to marry nicely.

Made this last night without the shredded coconut. My family absolutely loved it. I was trying to make the salsa but the chicken was gone by the time the salsa was finished. Great recipe and we had extra green onions so we grilled those and it was perfect!

when i was prepping this recipe, i couldn't wait to eat it. and when i did, i was so glad i tried this recipe. the combination of flavors make this dish so appealing to the palate. i agree with others about the pinapple sauce or salsa, but it was still really good without it. you have to try this recipe!!

Wonderful Recipe! Different from anything we have ever had. I made it according to the recipe the first time and next time I will make the spicy pineapple sauce to go with it.
