Filipino Chicken Adobo you guys, is my new obsession! For those of you unfamiliar with this Asian dish - it is the national dish of the Philippines and let me tell you it may well become your new favorite Asian chicken dinner!
Why? Well, there's the flavor - think juicy, tender chicken drumsticks or legs coated in a sweet and savory glaze with a little added oomph from whole black peppercorns. But this is also a truly effortless recipe that requires just a few everyday ingredients that you almost certainly already have!
Filipino Healthy Chicken Adobo
Discovering Chicken Adobo might feel a bit like cheating, given how unbelievably easy it is to make a dish that yields such incredible flavor. Let's just call it winning at life, mhhkay?
And you know me - if I truly enjoy something, I will turn it into a bowl. Because I just love the bowl concept and the comfort of being able to literally hug your meal. Plus you can dress it up a bit differently every time and therefore never get bored with the main element - which is the chicken, obviously.
The glaze of Filipino Chicken Adobo is savory and sweet with a hint of tang from the apple cider vinegar and a strong soy flavor. Garlic, onion and bay leaves make this extra savory while the added whole black peppercorns add little pops of heat.

Don’t be put off by of the amount of peppercorns! This is not a very spicy dish and the peppercorns become milder after the cooking time. Similar to the bay leaves, we can think of them as a flavor enhancer rather than a fiery spice.
And finally, the chicken itself. I am using drumsticks but you can use legs! Note that breast meat will not work in this recipe. The meat turns out incredibly tender, owing to the longish cooking time, and simmering the legs or drumsticks in the sauce for 25 minutes makes the meat so tender inside as if you had slow cooked it for hours.
Step 1 & 2 - Combine the marinade ingredients (up until the bay leaves) in a large glass bowl or a dish with a lid. Add the chicken and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight (the longer the better).

Tip: If possible, give the chicken a stir from time to time to ensure it marinates equally. You can also transfer everything into a large freezer bag as that makes it easier to manipulate.
Step 3 - Heat oil over medium-high heat in a very large skillet. When the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan (reserving the marinade) and brown it on all sides.
Step 4 - Stir in water/broth and reserved marinade and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered until chicken is no longer pink and sauce is slightly reduced 20-25 minutes. See notes if you’d like a thicker sauce.

Serve the chicken topped with cooking sauce, sesame seeds, and green onions over a bed of quinoa and top with cucumber or your favorite bowl toppings.
I used quinoa as the base of my bowls and I highly recommend you use something starchy to soak up the gorgeous sauce! If you’re counting carbs, I can highly recommend Cauliflower Rice as a sauce vehicle.
As the sauce is super strong in flavor and a little goes such a long way, you may not use all the sauce this Filipino Chicken Adobo recipe makes.
Filipino Chicken Adobo With Coconut Milk
If you do end up with some leftover sauce, I highly recommend you use it to make fried rice. You can use my fried rice recipe here and add whatever chopped up pieces of chicken you have leftover and maybe chopped veg and greens and the sauce.
Absolutely! Make it paleo/Whole30: swap the quinoa for cauliflower rice, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and to make Whole30 compliant, be sure to use date paste instead of coconut sugar.

When it comes to food, having a Hawaiian boyfriend is both fun and challenging. In general, the modern Hawaiian diet is not so healthy—which can make it super challenging for me when the whole family wants to eat what he’s used to eating. But, I absolutely love being introduced to new dishes and, of course, making them 21 Day Fix compliant. My latest recipe—for healthy chicken adobo—is the result of me adapting a traditional recipe to fit with my healthier lifestyle.
Chicken adobo is a very popular main dish in Hawaii. “Local food” on the islands is a mix of dishes from several different cultures who, at some point, came to call Hawaii home many generations ago. In general, it’s pretty unhealthy, which has caused obesity to increase throughout Hawaii.
Paleo Chicken Adobo
Adobo originated in the Philippines and is made from meat, seafood, or vegetables that is marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and peppercorns. The vinegar was originally used to keep the meat fresh longer.
Chicken adobo is traditionally served over white rice. I probably don’t have to tell you that’s a no-no on the 21 Day Fix, so this is where I put my food swapping skills to good use.
Here are some Fix-friendly substitutions that you can use instead of white rice, depending upon what you like and your desired container allotment for the day:

Filipino Chicken Adobo is one of the first chicken thigh recipes I shared way back in 2015 when I started this website. Back then, I boldly stated that this was my new favourite Asian chicken recipe even it was thoroughly disloyal of me to say that, being of Japanese background and all (Teriyaki, Karaage and Yakitori….to name a few….).
