Recipe: South Seas Chicken and Bananas

Dear Susan,
With such an interesting ingredient list, I just had to see if I could find such a recipe. I found this one in "Taste of Home"...I hope it's the same one.

SOUTH SEAS CHICKEN AND BANANAS

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
6 very firm bananas, halved lengthwise
3 cups cornflakes crumbs
5 to 6 pounds chicken pieces
3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted, divided use
Sliced kiwifruit and starfruit, optional garnish

In a food processor or blender, blend the lemon juice, condensed milk, milk, coconut and cardamom until smooth. Pour into a bowl.

Dip bananas into milk mixture; roll in cornflakes and set aside.

Dip chicken into remaining milk mixture; roll in remaining cornflakes and place in two greased 13x9x2-inch baking pans. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the melted butter.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

Arrange bananas over the chicken. Drizzle with remaining butter. Bake 15 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear.

Garnish with kiwi and starfruit if desired.

Yield: 6-8 servings.
