Adobo Chicken is a Filipino dish that I first tried asa teenager. I loved it, and I still do. Chicken (traditionally on the bone, with skins on) is slow cooked with soy, vinegar, pepper, and tons of garlic. The aroma will make your whole house smell delicious. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts to cut the fat content.
Serve with brown rice and a veggie for a complete, healthy, low-calorie dinner.
