Chicken Kelaguen With Finadene Sauce

I was introduced to this unusual Guamanian dish (pronounced KILL-a-gwen) by my brother's wife, whose mother is from Guam. If you don't like the tart tanginess of lemons, which I LOVE, you can tone it down a bit by increasing the coconut milk and decreasing the lemon juice.

Steps

1 hour
  1. 1

    Mix together the Finadene sauce ingredients and let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours for the flavors to blend. 

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken in the Finadene sauce overnight. Broil chicken, basting with the sauce, until done. Cool, debone and shred. NOTE: Tastes best when the chicken is cooked on a BBQ grill, to get a bit of char on it, but you can broil in your oven if necessary.

  3. 3

    Drain the liquid from the coconut and save. Grate the coconut meat in a food processor. Squeeze the milk from the shredded coconut into a bowl. 

  4. 4

    Mix the coconut milk with an equal amount of lemon juice and chill. Don't try substituting dried packaged shredded coconut. Only works with FRESH coconut. 

  5. 5

    NOTE: For this amount of chicken, I use 3/4 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice and an equal amount of coconut milk; as 1 coconut won't generally give you that much coconut milk, add canned coconut milk and adjust the lemon to your taste.

  6. 6

    Toss together the green onions, grated coconut, jalapenos and shredded chicken. Slowly stir in the coconut milk & lemon juice mixture, stirring well.

  7. 7

    Serve warm over rice or in pita bread.

  8. 8

    NOTE: I particularly love this as a cold chicken salad! I increase the amount of the lemon juice & coconut milk dressing and mix the finished Kelaguen with an equal amount of wild rice. Chill and enjoy. Very refreshing!

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
