Chicken Adobo has taken over my kitchen!
Allow me to give y’all a little backstory of what’s been happening.
My baby girl Summer…well she’s kinda addicted to chicken.
I previously told y’all how she was born with numerous food allergies and that left her with limited foods to eat.
Fast forward twenty years later and it’s still chicken that she loves.
So about two months ago I decided to take Summer out to eat the food. I ordered Chicken Adobo because I haven’t eaten it in years.
I said Summer taste this.
Don’t ask me why did I do that?
She ate all my food and had me taking her to the Filipino restaurant three to four times a week for the past two months.
Do you know how expensive that was getting?
Neither do I because I was too busy eating instead of watching my budget!
I decided that something had to be done.
The chef and I are on a first name basis because I am his number one customer.
I asked him what’s in his Adobo?
He told me the ingredients and I added my spin on it and this is how the magic happened!
Summer told me she didn’t think it was possible to make the adobo any better but I outdid myself.
I agree! lol
BTW if you want to make my lumpia here’s the link!
Enjoy.
