Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the drained canned chicken, gluten-free mayonnaise, and cooked coconut rice in a medium mixing bowl. Gently break apart the chicken with a fork.

  4. Gently mix all the ingredients until well combined, aiming for a chunky yet cohesive texture.
  5. Serve immediately on gluten-free bread, in wraps, or over a bed of greens. Refrigerate for up to an hour for better flavors.
