In our culture, one dish that always brings us closer to home is Chicken Adobo. There are many ways to cook it, but today I’ll share with you a recipe that I use to make this simple yet flavorful dish. This is perfect for those busy weeknights when you want something easy, delicious, and comforting.
Firstly, you will need to gather these ingredients:
– 1.5 lbs of chicken (cut into pieces)
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/2 cup vinegar
– 1 cup water
– 3-4 cloves of garlic (chopped)
– 1-2 bay leaves
– 1 tsp black pepper
– 1 tsp brown sugar
To begin, heat a pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken pieces until browned. Then, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, water, bay leaves, pepper, and brown sugar. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Now, onto the fun part – plating and presentation. For a beautiful and appetizing display, you can serve the Chicken Adobo with steaming white rice, and perhaps a side of greens. This dish is best shared with loved ones around the dinner table, reminiscing about old times and enjoying the present moment.

My personal favorite way to enjoy Chicken Adobo is with a side of stir-fried bok choy or kale, which adds a flavorful and healthy touch to the meal. However, you can get creative with the sides and experiment with different vegetables or even egg noodles.
In summary, Chicken Adobo is a classic Filipino dish that never fails to make us feel at home. Give this recipe a try and invite your friends and family over for a cozy meal that will warm your hearts and stomachs. Enjoy!
