A bowl of Chicken Keleguin (without the coconut added, nor the red pepper flakes) and a small avocado.

Chicken Keleguin is a recipe from the Island of Guam. It's basically:

Chicken (baked, rotisserie, or bbq'd), grated coconut, lemon juice, green onions, red pepper flakes, salt.

You can google it to find a recipe, but anyways... normally I have it with red pepper flakes and coconut, but today I'm not.

It's served cold, like a cold chicken salad.

Yum!

Recipe: Go to YouTube and search for: Chicken Kelaquen Recipe | Guamanian Style Food by the user: Get Out And Grill!

By the way, in Guam they spell everything differently. If you are in Guam, and you will notice words that are Chamorro words (native language of the indigenous people of Guam) they spell words by how they sound, so everyone spells a Chamorro word differently and they don't really or haven't really standardized a spelling for their words so it's really okay to spell things wrong.

Some people spell it "Keleguen" and some spell it "Keleguin" so, that's just a thing on the island of Guam. I love Guam, visited in 2013 and just fell in love with that island, and the people, the culture and the food. We eat a lot of Chamorro food at my house.

This sounds really nice, I will definitely have a look for a recipe. Coconut, lemon and a bit of chilli, what's not to like!

It's so good, and I can enjoy it with chopped up fresh veggies, like carrots, or celery, or cauliflower, etc. I just love it.

A great lunch WM 😊

Hi WebMistress

Your lunch looks really scrumptious. Glad you enjoyed it. I've not heard of 'Chicken Keleguin' and it's interesting to hear about it, and learn how to make it too - thank you for sharing the recipe. :-)

I tried to post a youtube video of someone making the recipe so you could see how it's done, but I can't post youtube links I guess, and that's fine. I made a note on my post just now when I edited it, letting you know how to find the recipe on youtube, what to search for. The user I suggested definitely knows how to make it!
