Adobong Manok sa Gata

Since we will have a long weekend, I decided to cook something that will survive frequent reheating. I thought this recipe will do so here we go:

1/2 kilo chicken, sliced to serving portions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, minced
1 pc chicken broth cube
1/2 cup vinegar
2 pieces bay leaves
2 cups coconut milk
1 medium papaya (supposedly green but the woman in the market gave me yellowish green, well, almost ripe), sliced

1. Combine chicken, garlic, onion, broth cube, vinegar and bay leaves in a bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes.
2. Transfer mixture into a pan and simmer until tender.
3. Pour in coconut milk and sliced papaya.
4. Simmer until papaya is crisp-tender. Adjust seasoning using salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.

Enjoy!
