SLOW COOKER SOY-BRAISED CHICKEN
Chicken adobo hails from the Philippines and though this recipe is made with chicken thighs, traditionally it can also be made with pork or fish. The chicken is braised in a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce that creates a sweet and sour sauce. Rice is a must to accompany this rich dish. Found on-line from the Real Simple Site

SLOW COOKER SOY BRAISED CHICKEN
Soy and ginger are two of our favorite flavors. My favorite part of this recipe? You can use chicken breasts or thighs, either one turns out juicy, tender and tasty!

Steps:
- 1. Place chicken in the slowcooker.
- 2. Add soy sauce, ginger and pepper. Add water to cover the chicken.
- 3. Turn on high and cook all day, or 6 hours. Longer cooking will not hurt this at all.
- 4. Serve over lentils or jasmine rice
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken or chicken thighs. Bone-in chicken will yield more flavor than boneless.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you're using a whole chicken, cut it into pieces so that it fits comfortably in the slow cooker. Overcrowding the slow cooker will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Use dark soy sauce: Dark soy sauce has a richer flavor than light soy sauce and will give the chicken a beautiful mahogany color.
- Add plenty of aromatics: Aromatics such as garlic, ginger, scallions, and star anise will add depth of flavor to the chicken.
- Simmer the chicken on low: Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve with rice or noodles: Soy-braised chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with steamed vegetables or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Soy-braised chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and umami-packed. Serve it with rice or noodles and you have a complete meal that the whole family will love.
