This is probably the easiest chicken adobo recipe I’ve ever seen outside of opening a packet. Adobo is a cooking process indigenous to the Philippines. Filipino Chicken Adobo is one of the first things I cooked after traveling. Adobo originates from the Spanish word adobaror to marinate. And according to many sources, Filipinos cooked meat in vinegar to keep it fresh longer. Turns out, adobo is also a great one pot or a crock pot meal.
