Adobo is a traditional Filipino dish. This was my sister’s recipe and is a family favorite. You can substitute pork for some or all of the chicken. The recipe also works well multiplied for a crowd.
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 Cook Time: 45Ingredients
4 pieces of skinless chicken, breast or thigh
2 tsp canola oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup vinegar
1/2 medium onion, chopped
Directions
In a Dutch oven or heavy skillet, brown the chicken in oil. Add other ingredients, cover and simmer on low heat about 45 minutes.
Serving suggestion: Serve over brown rice.
Note: This recipe works fine in the Crock-pot. You can even omit browning the chicken in oil, if you like (I usually do when I use the Crock-pot). Just throw the chicken, vinegar, soy sauce, and onion in the Crock-pot and cook for about 5 hours on high, or 8 to 9 hours on low (cooking times may vary depending on the age, make, and size of your slow cooker).

To make this recipe more authentic you may want to try adding 2-3 bay leaves and whole peppercorns. you can also make this with pork and it cooks quickly on the stovetop too!
