Adobo Chicken with Noubess Adobo Seasoning (Salt-Free)
This recipe captures the classic Filipino adobo flavors without any added salt, thanks to the Noubess Adobo seasoning.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or your preferred cut)
- 2 tbsp Noubess Adobo Seasoning (salt-free)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat or lite)
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and smashed
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
- 1/4 cup chopped white onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper (optional)
Instructions:
- Marinate the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and season generously with Noubess Adobo Seasoning on all sides. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, coconut milk, vinegar, garlic cloves, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
- Brown the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear them skin-side down for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. If using, add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Simmer and thicken: Pour the reserved marinade into the pot with the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the lid and increase heat to medium. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Spoon the thickened sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped green onions (optional). Serve with steamed rice.
Tips:
- Taste the sauce after simmering and adjust the acidity with a touch of brown sugar or honey if desired.
- For a richer sauce, thicken it further by mixing a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water) into the simmering sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Enjoy this delicious and flavorful take on classic adobo chicken!
