Extremely Easy to Make! Prep time is accurate...5 minutes!!! What a quick way to get a tasty dinner on the table after work. The flavors were perfect, although I did not add any extra salt due to the saltiness of the soy sauce. I garnished this with chopped green onions and served with rice noodles. Thank you so much for posting craftscout. This goes in my desperation dinner file. Sue

I haven't tried this actual recipe because the Chicken Adobo I've learned to make I don't measure, but I've rated it 5 stars because the measurements look about right. I recommend trying adding browned (caramelized) onions to this dish: brown the onions first then throw in everything else and cook.

I made this for my husband's dinner party and everyone loved it so much. It's so tasty and very easy. I didn't add any salt and i suggest you use teflon or non stick pan.

This recipe was incredibly easy and very very good. The meat was tender and juicy. I turned the chicken about 25 minutes in and I added a little bit of cornstarch/water mixture towards the end to thicken the sauce a little. I served it with rice and finadene sauce. YUM!

Didn't use peppercorns and kids loved it.

Fabulous dish! Even the people in my house who profess to hate vinegar loved this. I used chicken thighs and skipped the peppercorns because I didn't have them, just sprinkled on some pepper instead. It is also a fabulous low-carb dish for those who watch their carbs. I served it with steamed broccoli.

An excellent recipe. Now I can enjoy the famous Adobo Chicken all my Filipino friends were raving about throughout my childhood. I made 4 servings by using five 4 oz chicken breasts. Simmering with the lid on for a while as the recipe says will help keep the chicken moist. Otherwise you will be adding small amounts of water towards the end. It may smell strong of vinegar, but it goes great with a serving of white rice. Excellent recipe, extremely simple to make. Loved it.

we use knorr seasoning instead of soy sauce, try it, it really kicks it up a notch!

Very easy and tasty. I made as written but next time I'd add a little red pepper flakes for a bit of spice. Also I'd be sure to remove skin first, as it inhibited flavor getting in where the skin covered. Smells very vinegary but tastes great!
