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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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!
