Steps:

- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a plate. Strain the cooking liquid into a small pot. Place over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to a thick sauce. Place the chicken back in the slow cooker to stay warm while the sauce reduces.

FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION
For about 20 years this recipe was just a lovely memory. When DH was in grad school one of his professors invited the entire class and their families to enjoy a Filipino meal prepared by his wife, Priscilla. She fed about 50 of us seated on the floor in front of long rolls of paper! 20 years later, that professor is no longer at this school but my husband and his son-in-law now teach here. Rachel, Priscilla's daughter, shared her Mom's recipe with me. She has added slow cooker instructions to fit her busy lifestyle but it is still the same great flavor that her mom prepared for us over 20 years ago. Thanks Priscilla and Rachel!! **NOTES** - Cooking time 2 hours stove or 6 hours slow cooker. - Slow Cookers vary in cooking times - adjust according to your appliance. - Freezer instructions courtesy of Erindipity.

Steps:
- Note: The original recipe just called for vinegar. I use Apple Cider Vinegar - just use what you have. Some reviewers have used rice vinegar and been pleased. Rice vinegar seems to have a touch of sweetness. Do what pleases you - experiment and have fun in the kitchen.
- Stove top instructions.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely. Reviewer Felina suggested tying the spices into a cheesecloth to so that you get the flavor but don't bite into the peppercorns while you eat the dish - a stainless tea ball works too. Do whichever please you).
- Allow everything sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low; simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (leave lid slightly ajar).
- Remove lid and cook 10 minutes more.
- Serve with rice.

EASY FILIPINO PORK OR CHICKEN ADOBO
One of the most popular dishes of the Philippines!!! I'm half Filipino...this is the method both my parents used to cook this yummy meal. I like to add potatoes to the Pork style only. Also note: This is as close to the measurements that I could guesstimate. When I was taught to cook this dish, my parents would just dump in the ingredients. I've done the same since and learned to perfect it on my own. I chose to use some of the ingredients I listed because my belief in traditional diets. Lard, coconut oil and bones (for marrow) give the dish the most authentic flavor you can find. When my grandmother would cook with bones, she'd break them to release as much marrow as possible. I hope you're willing to try it and enjoy it! My family and In-laws can't get enough of it!!!

Steps:
- You may sauté meat prior to making this dish but in this version it is not necessary. If sautéing, heat lard/oil in large frying pan. Add meat. Fry on medium to med/high heat until golden brown. Then follow instructions below --
- Place meat (and bones) in large sauce pan.
- Add just enough water to submerge all of meat & bones.
- Bring to boil. As pan warms up, add vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and desired amount of salt and pepper. (Remember soy sauce is already pretty salty.).
- Simmer and cover for about 40 minutes. (or until chicken looks like it's starting to fall off the bone)Stir periodically.
- IF ADDING POTATOES -- simmer for about 20 minutes add cubed potatoes, bring back to boil -- simmer for about 20 more minutes.
- Remove bones prior to serving.
- If sauce is not slightly thickened after 40 minutes, you may use corn starch to do the trick -- however it will lighten up the color of the sauce.
- Serve over steamed Jasmine or Calrose rice (Jasmine is available in a brown rice).
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: For pork, use a pork shoulder or Boston butt. These cuts are well-marbled and will stay moist during the long cooking time. For chicken, use a whole chicken or chicken thighs. Bone-in chicken will add more flavor to the adobo.
- Brown the meat before cooking: Browning the meat will help to develop its flavor and create a richer sauce. You can brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat or in the slow cooker on the sauté setting.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is one of the key ingredients in adobo, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, umami flavor.
- Don't skimp on the vinegar: Vinegar is another essential ingredient in adobo. It adds a sour flavor that balances out the richness of the meat and soy sauce. Use a white vinegar or a light-colored vinegar such as apple cider vinegar.
- Add bay leaves and peppercorns: Bay leaves and peppercorns are common spices used in adobo. They add a subtle flavor to the dish.
- Cook the adobo on low heat: Adobo is a slow-cooked dish. Cook it on low heat for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Conclusion:
Filipino adobo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with pork, chicken, or a combination of both. It is a great dish to serve with rice, noodles, or vegetables. Whether you make it in a traditional pot or a slow cooker, adobo is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
