• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet or bake it in the oven.
• To toast the coconut, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately after assembling.
• If you have leftovers, store the salad and chicken separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• The chicken can be reheated in the microwave or enjoyed cold in sandwiches or wraps.
