Chicken Adobo is a perfect weeknight dinner as the ingredients are easy to find, it is fast to make, and the best part … it is done in ONE POT!! If you never tried Chicken Adobo, you are MISSING OUT. Get yourself a big bowl of rice because this is the ultimate rice killer.

We haven’t made Chicken Adobo in a while, and my fiancé had 4 pieces of chicken and 3 bowls of rice last night …. Yes, it is THAT GOOD.

Chicken Adobo is a recipe I am confident to say that is well-loved by everyone. It has a perfect balance between savory, sweet and tangy. There are many ways to make chicken adobo, but this is my go-to fail-proof version that is made in just one pot!

The chicken adobo is tender and juicy and filled with flavor, but the best part is for sure the sauce that pairs PERFECTLY with rice.

The sauce is packed with flavor from caramelized onions, bay leaf, chicken stock, and chicken juices.

so i am a noob cook and for some reason recipes i cook, even to the T, isn’t always good for me… but for some reason, tiffy’s recipes a FOOLPROOF. like every recipe i follow turns out to be SO FUCKING GOOD. and its frickin easy. im filipino and most recipes for adobo take usually 30min-4hr+ to boil or simmer!

I found you on Insta and had to check this out! This recipe is awesome; so easy and delicious.

I don’t know if its just me and the fact i had to use breast instead of thighs ( obviously chicken was bit drier ) , i DO like the dish , the sauce with rice and i also added steamed brocolli and mixed veggies. But personally i feel the peppercorns was a bit too much for me and the kids , if i didn’t add it in i think the kids would like it alot more but overall great dish would make it again with a few adjustments
