FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO (FLAVOUR KAPOW!)

Steps:

• Combine Chicken and Marinade ingredients in a bowl. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and place in the pan. Sear both sides until browned - about 1 minute on each side. Do not cook the chicken all the way through.
• Remove chicken skillet and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in skillet. Add garlic and onion, cook 1 1/2 minutes.
• Add the reserved marinade, water, sugar and black pepper. Bring it to a simmer then turn heat down to medium high. Simmer 5 minutes.
• Add chicken smooth side down. Simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes (no need to stir), turning chicken at around 15 minutes, until the sauce reduces down to a thick jam-like syrup.
• If the sauce isn't thick enough, remove chicken onto a plate and let the sauce simmer by itself - it will thicken much quicker - then return chicken to the skillet to coat in the glaze.
• Coat chicken in glaze then serve over rice. Pictured in post as a healthy dinner plate (415 calories) with cauliflower rice and Ginger Smashed Cucumbers.

CHICKEN DADO

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large, heavy pot until it foams, then add the white scallions and cook until tender. Don't let them brown!
• Remove the pot from the heat and add the water chestnuts, ginger, sour cream, stock, salt, lemon juice, and pepper. Stir.
• Return the pot to medium heat and bring to a boil. Once it boils, add in the diced, pre-cooked chicken. Stir this carefully as to not break up the chicken -- you just need to heat the chicken through and then it's done.
• Serve with either clumpy (short-grained) rice or egg noodles and garnish the dish with the diced scallion tops.
