Preparation
Step 1
1. Combine the chicken, toasted coconut, and green beans in a bowl
2. Toss with Jerk dressing
Tips:
1. I cook the chicken in a pan on the stove with a little bit of olive oil and shred it with 2 forks after it has cooled.
2. For the green beans, bring a pot of water to boil. Add the green beans. Mine were ready in 4 minutes.
3. To toast the coconut, spread coconut on a piece of foil and toast in a toaster oven for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
