Equipment
1 skillet
Ingredients
- 5 pieces chicken thigh
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup pineapple syrup
- 5 cloves garlic smashed
- 1 small yellow onion sliced thin
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 cup pineapple tidbits
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken thighs with pineapple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper for 30 minutes on the countertop. If you wanted to marinate them longer, put them in the fridge.
- Drain the chicken and reserve the marinade for the sauce.
- In a skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Sear the drained chicken thigh on each side on high heat.
- Turn the heat to medium, push the chicken to the side, and add the smashed garlic and sliced onion. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the reserved marinade and bay leaves. Cook until meat is tender and juicy, about 20-30 minutes, on low to medium heat. Add water if you want a more saucy adobo dish.
- Stir in the pineapple tidbits and cook for a minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning with soy sauce and black pepper. If it's too salty, add some water or vinegar or both. Turn off the heat. Serve with rice, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes
- For the best result, marinate your chicken adobo with pineapple to soak all the flavors from the marinade, the longer, the better.
- Storage: Chicken Adobo with Pineapple will last for seven days in the refrigerator or freezer if you store them properly. Transfer the cold adobo to a glass container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for 3 months.
