Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo
Adobo is a traditional Filipino dish that features marinated chicken cooked in a savory blend of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and spices. This version utilizes a slow cooker for a tender and flavorful meal.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Instructions:
- Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, water, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken in the slow cooker, making sure each piece is well coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry and add it to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir to combine.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding or serving whole.
- Serve the chicken adobo over cooked jasmine rice, drizzling the sauce from the slow cooker over the top for extra flavor.
