Chicken Adobo in Coconut Milk

This is another recipe from "The Philippine Cookbook". I made this recently for my husbands Filipino birthday dinner. I used cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts. I just cooked it in the pot until the sauce was reduced. I didn't bother with the broiler. I also used white vinegar as I don't care for apple cider vinegar. It was great! I might try it in the crockpot next time.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

I made this, this morning and it was really good. I love the different flavor, and will definitely be making it again. I used coconut cream instead of milk, as that was what I had, and I did it all on the stove top.

    I have frequently made another version of chicken adobo, but I like this one better! I omitted the brown sugar. I also cooked the whole thing on the stovetop, and used (frozen!) skinless boneless chicken breasts. The whole thing cooked up beautifully, including reducing the sauce, in under one hour. Delicious! Thanks, Engrossed!

    I put a whole chicken and the rest of the ingredients into an oven bag, made sure there was hardly any air in there and then tied a knot and let it sit overnight in the fridge. The next morning I just plopped the whole bag into the crock pot and let it cook on low for the whole day, right in the bag. That evening we had the most tender delicious chicken that we've had in a long time! I served this with a non-dairy version of Emerald Mashed Potatoes and wow, I'm impressed with myself!

    "Incredible" was my son's comment on this dish, and I agree. Strong and wonderful flavor, very easy to put together. I followed your lead, Engrossed, and cooked it all on the stovetop rather than messing with broiling. I also used cut up skinless, boneless chicken. I used a mixture of cider and rice vinegar (I only had about 3/4 cup of cider vinegar, so I improvised). I didn't have peppercorns, so just used extra ground pepper. Thanks for posting!
