Ingredients
- 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup atchara (green papaya relish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, soy sauce, vinegar, water, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and brown sugar. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Add the chicken to the skillet with the garlic and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Season with salt to taste.
- Serve the adobo chicken on a bed of garlic fried rice, garnished with atchara pineapple relish. Enjoy!
Chef’s Insight
The key to tender, juicy chicken is marinating it in the adobo sauce before cooking.
Notes
Adjust the amount of brown sugar according to your preferred level of sweetness. - Feel free to add more vegetables to the garlic fried rice for added nutrition and flavor.
