Chicken Adobo is a Filipino recipe that you can make anywhere in the world as long as you have a crock pot that you can plug into the wall. Adobo is a Spanish word for marinate…so if you have some members of your household who are not very adventurous, you can truthfully say that you're making marinated chicken for dinner.
With a sweet and tangy sauce, this taste of the exotic is perfect for nights chicken seems unappealing. You'll be transported to the lush island paradise minus the volcanoes. For an additional touch of tropical paradise, throw some slices of pineapple under the broiler or on the grill for a few minutes to serve along with your chicken adobo.
