Filipino Chicken Adobo is a perfect dish to make in a slow cooker or in the Instant Pot! We’ve updated this post to include 14 different Filipino Chicken Adobo Recipes and if you check a few of them you’ll see what we mean about every cook making a slightly different variation of this dish!
Adobo is traditionally served with rice, but if you serve with Cauliflower Rice (and replace sugar with sweetener if needed) this can easily be a low-carb meal. I hope one of these versions of Chicken Adobo will be perfect for a day when you want a tasty Filipino dinner made at home!
What is Filipino Chicken Adobo?
Adobo made with chicken (or pork) is the national dish of the Philippines, with every Filipino cook adding their own variations to the recipe. What’s consistent is that adobo will always have vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves to flavor the sauce that the chicken cooks in.
