Spanish-Ish Adobo Chicken image

I've modified this traditional Spanish/Portuguese method of cooking chicken by including one key ingredient of the Filipino-style adobo - soy sauce, because I feel that it completes the savory profile of the dish. This dish is best done low and slow to let the broth condense and to let the chicken become fall-apart tender. The leftovers go great on tacos or made into soup. It's also a low-calorie, low-fat dish, so it's great for weight-watchers!

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 skinless chicken drumsticks (cut into thirds) or 3 -4 skinless chicken breasts (cut into thirds)
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock or 1 cup broth
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients EXCEPT for chicken stock and bay leaves and marinate chicken for at least one hour, but preferably overnight.
  • Add chicken, marinade, and bay leaves to a deep skillet or medium stock pot and cook on medium-low heat (a slow-cooker can also be used). Cover and cook for at least 1 hour, but preferably longer. For best results, reduce heat to low and cook for 3 to 4 hours, removing the cover for about the last hour so the broth reduces slightly. Serve immediately over rice and with a slice of chewy bread to mop up the leftover broth.
