Aloha Chicken Kebabs

I have the cookbook Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld.  All the recipes have hidden veggies or fruit in the form of purees mixed in.  All the recipes that we have tried have been pretty good.  My kids eat fruits and veggies so I am not too concerned about food that has hidden veggies in them, but it does make some of these recipes taste really good!  This is one of our favorites. 

1 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 flaxseed meal
1/2 cup sweet potato puree (I steamed a sweet potato and then blended it)
1/4 cup pineapple puree (I blended canned pineapple)
1 T soy sauce
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or sicken tenders, rinsed and dried, and cut into "fingers"
1/4 tsp salt
2 T all-purpose or whole wheat flour
Nonstick cooking spray
1 T olive oil
10-12 short wooden skewers.

1.  In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the flaxseed meal.  Ste aside.

2.  In a second wide, shallow bowl, combine the sweet potato and pineapple purees, soy sauce, egg white, and coconut, and mix with a fork; set next to the bread crumbs.

3.  Thread the chicken fingers lengthwise onto skewers, using one skewer per chicken finger.  Sprinkle both sides of the chicken skewers with salt ant hen with flour.  Dip the chicken into the egg-white mixture and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until completely coated.

4.  Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over med-high heat.  When the pan is hot, add the oil.

5.  Add the chicken in a single layer and brown for 3-4 minutes on one side, until the breadcrumb coating is crisp and golden.(Turn down the heat if the coating browns too quickly-coconut burns easily.)  Turn the skewers and cook 4-5 minutes longer, until the chicken is cooked through and browned all over.

**My variations:  I did not skewer my chicken.  I just did chicken strips.  I also did not cook it this way. I cooked it like the Baked Fried Chicken with melted butter in a dish in the oven.  It was just easier for me at the time to just throw it in the oven instead of standing at the stove watching it.
I bagged extra puree in the amount needed for this recipe and froze it to use another time.
