Slow Cooker Adobo Chicken With Bok Choy Recipes

SLOW COOKER ADOBO CHICKEN WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325F / 163C.
• Heat a Dutch oven with a thin layer of cooking oil over medium heat. Add chicken and sear on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes total.
• Pour sauce over chicken and cover with a lid. Transfer to oven and continue cooking, covered, until chicken reaches 160F / 71C , 40 to 45 minutes.
• Use a fork to shred your chicken right in the slow cooker.
• When the chicken is cooked, use a fork to shred it right in the Dutch oven (be careful since the pan is hot; if it's easier, you can transfer the chicken to a cutting board to shred it and then return it to the Dutch oven).
• Let chicken sit in the cooking liquid for 5 to 10 minutes and then taste and season to your liking. (Note: if you like heat, definitely shake on some of your favorite hot sauce.)
• Heat a wok or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then bok choy and garlic (portion for the bok choy) to heated oil. Saute for ~1 minute.
• Add soy sauce (portion for the bok choy) and toasted sesame oil and saute for another 2 to 4 minutes, until bok choy is tender but still crunchy.
• If rice was made ahead, reheat in the microwave.
• Top rice with bok choy and chicken (remember to save half for Thursday night). Serve with lime wedges and cilantro on top. Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, soy sauce, and vinegar into the bottom of a slow cooker in that order, making sure peppercorns and bay leaves are submerged into the liquid.
• Cover and cook on High until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the centers, about 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone of a thigh should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SLOW COOKER FILIPINO-STYLE CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, peppercorns, garlic and bay leaves and stir to combine. Add the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Cover and cook the chicken on low until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• 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.
• Spoon some rice into serving bowls. Top with the chicken and some of the sauce, then garnish with the pickled peppers and scallions.

FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION

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.
