Filipino Chicken Adobo With Garlic Food

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.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a big stock pot.
• Put in all your ingredients, you don't have to mix, it will mix when it boils.
• After you add the ingredients, put in enough water to cover the chicken.
• Bring to a full boil.
• Once it starts boiling, turn the heat down (medium-high heat) enough to where it's a soft boil (boiling but not over boiling out of pot) and cover with lid but with a crack.
• Stir every half hour or so.
• Let it boil all the way until there is about only 1 inch of liquid left. This is usually about an hour to an hour and a half.
• The chicken should also be dark brown all the way through, if the meat is still whitish then you need to cook it longer.
• Add the sliced onions and stir if using.
• Cook for only 5 min just enough for the onions to turn soft.
• Serve alone or with cooked white rice or my savory garlic fried rice.
