Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- 8-10 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 4 bay leaves
- 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
To Serve:
- Steamed rice
- Sliced green onions
- Red pepper flakes
Directions:
- In a slow cooker, combine vinegar, coconut aminos, black peppercorns, garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Place the chicken in the mixture and stir to coat chicken evenly.
- Set the slow cooker on low and cook chicken for 2.5 hours. Place the chicken on a plate and strain sauce into a pot through a mesh strainer. Add the chicken back to the slow cooker and set on warm while the sauce reduces.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then let it simmer vigorously for 30 minutes to an hour, until the sauce is reduced to the thickness and consistency of your liking.
- Serve the chicken with steamed rice, and top with sliced green onion, red pepper flakes, and reduced sauce, and enjoy!
