Chicken adobo is one of the popular filipino dishes.  It is also the dish I cook if I do not have too much time to prepare elaborate dishes.

My version of adobo is a tad bit healthier than the original recipe because of the ingredients I use.  I mainly use organic and gluten-free ingredients.

In the photos below, I used about 10 chicken drumsticks.

Ingredients:

• chicken breast, drumsticks or thighs (or can mix the 3 kinds), serves 3-4 mouths
• about 3-4 russet potatoes, cut into cubes
• 5 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 Tbsp of onion powder
• 1 Tbsp of garlic powder
• 2 tsp of pepper
• 1 Tbsp of black peppercorns (optional)
• 5-6 pcs of dry bay leaves
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 3 Tbsp of worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 cup of liquid aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
• 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

1. In a pan, pour about 2 Tbsp of olive oil then add garlic
2. Add the chicken and cover the pan for about 3-5 minutes
3. Add potatoes and cover for another 3 minutes
4. Add onion & garlic powder, pepper (and peppercorns) and bay leaves then cover
5. Mix the liquid aminos & apple cider vinegar in a bowl and adjust to your taste then add the brown sugar
6. Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken then cover
7. Check it every 3 minutes and mix it around for even cooking
8. When cooked, put it over steamed rice or quinoa
9. Enjoy.
