Chicken adobo

Chicken adobo is a popular Filipino dish known for its rich, savory flavor. It's made by marinating chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns, then simmering it until tender. The dish reflects the influence of Spanish colonization, combining local ingredients with European cooking techniques. Each region and family often has its own variation, adding ingredients like coconut milk, potatoes, or hard-boiled eggs. It's usually served with steamed rice, making it a comforting and satisfying meal!
