Ingredients

  • carrots, sliced
  • baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 small bay leaves
  • 2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water

The traditional recipe for Filipino-style adobo calls for the meatier parts of chicken (thighs, wings, drumsticks) with bone in tact. They hold up a bit better throughout the simmering process. This time around, I wanted to use chicken breast, adding mushrooms to make the dish meatier than it is, with carrots for sweetness.

    I like that you used breasts in this recipe since sometimes I just don't want to sort through the bones when eating.

    Intermesting... I've never had adobo with carrots in it. Must try that one.

    I just made this for the first time tonight (hahha... and YES I am Filipina!)! I really like how you used portabello mushrooms and green onions! Definitely adds a different flavour and texture. I'm going to try this recipe next time! Thanks for posting!
