4/21/2014 - Combined banana mixture and coconut mixture in the same bowl because
I did not read ahead. With 1 pound of chicken tenderloins, there was too much
coating and it all bunched up on one side of the one side of the chicken.
Also the result was very sweet. I should have cut the chicken in smaller
pieces and used unsweetened coconut. Updated instructions.
