Last week I posted an interview with the wonderful Aviva Kanoff, author of the No-Potato Passover cookbook. Today I’m excited to share with you one of Aviva’s personal favorite recipes from her cookbook — Coconut Crusted Chicken with Plum Dipping Sauce.
If you’re looking for a fun recipe for Chol HaMoed Shabbat, or any night during Pesach, you’ll want to add this one to your Passover menu plan!
And be sure to pin it to your Passover Pinterest board, so you can save it for later.
