Chicken Adobo recipe

The All time favorite Filipino food loved by Filipinos and by most people all over the world. You may choose between chicken and pork, depending on your diet and Tastes. I will be putting the pork adobo recipe later but right now I will share with you my recipe for Chicken adobo. I'm like trying to be healthy pretty freak when it comes to food and so many things. As much as possible I used organic and natural recipes and products. Lately, I only use olive oil and seldom use Canola Oil for cooking. In selecting meat, I try to use no antibiotic and no preservative meats as much as I can.  I try to purchase them regularly. Each and one of us has its own style of cooking and this is mine. I love serving my family healthy foods. I'm using a circulon pan as of now which is made of titanium technology and some non-stick which my ever so  loving mother-in-law gave us, I'm so thankful for it but I hope I can get a new stainless steel pans which I have heard is healthier or the Salad master set which is made of titanium but it is way to expensive for me as of now. I don't know the difference of stainless steel and titanium cookware actually, just the technology I guess. I love this journey.



Chicken Adobo Recipe

6 cuts of chicken parts
7 cloves of garlic
2 medium size potato (optional), sliced in half
3 tbsp. soy sauce
6 tbsp. apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar
2 bay leaf
1 tbsp. peppercorn
salt to taste
pinch of brown sugar (optinal)
2 medium sized fresh tomatoes, sliced



Procedure:

1. Thaw and wash chicken parts fully. Combine the following on a bowl: the soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns. Place the chicken inside the bowl and roll it over the soy sauce mixture.

2. Put your pan on and turn on the stove on a medium heat and when the pan is all heated up, put it on slow cooking mode.

3. Put all the chicken along with soy sauce mixture inside the pan  using a slow cooking mode and cover the pan. Try not to open the pan frequently but make sure that you are using a slow cooking mode with a very minimal heat. The chicken will produce oil on its own and fry a little.

4. When the chicken is cooked already and no blood can be seen on the surface, add the vinegar and bay leaf. Add salt to taste. Pinch of brown sugar if desired. After it boils, add the potatoes. Cover the pan for a few minutes. When the potatoes is cooked, turn off your pan. Serve with sliced of fresh tomatoes with a pinch of salt and hot steamed rice.


Note: in using electrical stove, you may turn off your stove when you think your food is almost cooked to save electricity. That way we can save on our bill expenses and help our world as well. x
