What is Adobo?
Many people think of adobo, you think of canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. In Filipino recipes, adobo actually is a type of vinegar-based marinade that consists of soy sauce and garlic.
Adobo is definitely highlighted in this chicken dish that is accented with whole black peppercorns and bay leaves.
When simmering away in the crock pot or slow cooker, the chicken takes on the tanginess of the vinegar.
In addition, the vinegar helps maintain the chicken’s tenderness, and the result, a moist piece of poultry.
One Pot Dinner for the Entire Family
Dinner will be ready for the entire family without much fuss, and the clean up is a breeze as you have only one pot to clean.
Now that it’s back-to-school season, try this crock pot chicken adobo recipe for your family and I guarantee you that even the pickiest eater would love it.
What to Serve with Adobo?
When serving, I recommend simple steamed white rice with a side of romaine lettuce and cucumbers. You can also make cilantro lime rice, which is great for this dish.
Drizzle the adobo sauce over the lettuce and cucumbers for added flavor.
A side of soy sauce for dipping pieces of the chicken into would also be delicious. You can add extra oomph to the soy sauce by whisking in sugar, sliced Thai chili peppers and lime juice.
