So, I thought I'd post a recipe that I make a lot for my husband.
Chicken adobo is a Filippino dish that my husband LOVES. He says the way I make it is better than his mom (who actually agreed with him when she visited- talk about a nice mother in law!).
So, here it is. Try it with steamed rice and vegetables.
Ingredients:
2 or 3 chicken breasts, thawed and cut into strips (you can use any part of the chicken really, I use chicken breasts because that is what I have.)
Half an onion, sliced into rings
3 cloves garlic, diced
2/3 cup vinegar (any kind is fine)
1 1/3 cup soy sauce
1 Tbl black pepper
1 Tbl garlic powder
Directions:
Directions:
Heat a little oil in a deep skillet and brown the chicken. Remove the chicken and put it on a plate (it will go back in to finish cooking once the sauce is ready so don't worry about pink insides!) While your chicken is browning, mix your soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl (I use a 2-cup glass measuring cup).
Once your chicken is removed, soften your onions in the same pan.
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant- about a minute. Make sure to stir it so it doesn't burn!
Pour in your soy sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Add the chicken back to the pan, reduce heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve with steamed rice and enjoy!
Note: With a tablespoon of pepper it is pretty spicy. If you don't like as much spice, use less pepper, if you want more, use more!
Also, this makes enough sauce to double the amount of chicken you put in without having to double the sauce! My husband likes to pour it over his rice while I prefer my rice clear of sauce to balance the spice!
