Chicken Kelaguen
I don't have a good picture of the finished product, so here is a poorly photoshopped image of chicken kelaguen.
Chicken kelaguen is a local dish that is very popular in my hometown island of Guam. It makes a great side dish and is delicious when served on a toasted corn tortilla. This recipe uses a boneless chicken breast for ease of preparation. (Using a whole chicken that has been grilled over a wood fire provides the best flavor.)
1 Chicken Breast
2 or 3 Lemons
1 Small Onion
1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Cup Grated Coconut
2 tsp Chopped Hot Red Peppers
Love. Never forget to add love.

Grate coconut.
