I thought I would lighten things up a bit on the ol’ weblog, and share with you one of my favorite dishes. This is a Filipino dish that my wife (who was born and raised there) makes quite often. If you like Japanese Teriyaki chicken, there’s a good chance you’ll like this. Enjoy!

Chicken Adobo
1.5 lbs chicken cut into cubes
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 chicken bouillon cube (Knorr brand)
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup water
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup vinegar

Mix all the ingredients in a pan and cook about 20 minutes over medium heat. Cover and let boil until the meat is tender. Serve over white rice while hot.
