Chicken Adobo

Chicken adobo is an easy Filipino recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to create.
These chicken thighs are so juicy and tender because they are seared and simmered in a delicious brown sauce over low heat.

The soy and vinegar sauce with black peppercorns, bay leaves and garlic give this dish its signature savoury tangy taste.
Now, one more thing.
I’ve added Coconut cream to the sauce that brings it a certain silkiness and a hint of elegance that makes it creamier and richer in taste.

This dish is traditionally enjoyed with steamed rice for lunch or dinner, but it can also be served for breakfast with garlic fried rice and sunny-side-up eggs.

Notes

What should I serve with Chicken Adobo?

• Chicken adobo and rice is probably one of the most iconic dishes in Filipino cuisine.
  You’ll need that rice to soak up all that lovely sauce.
• If you’d like a vegetable with dinner, I suggest steamed broccoli or any stir fried or steamed vegetable.
• The flavours of cauliflower mash or cauliflower cheese with mashed potato mingle well.
