This chicken adobo with potatoes is a tagalog version of adobo and it’s saucy unlike the other adobo recipes I’ve already posted that has very little sauce or almost dry and oily. Cooking is also not a hassle because it is simple but this is not like the other simple adobo dishes where you only have to put all the ingredients in pot and let it simmer until cooked. This requires you to stir fry the chicken first before cooking it in soy sauce, vinegar and spices.
To cook chicken adobo with potatoes; Heat oil in a saucepan and saute garlic and onion. After a minute add the chicken. Stir fry the chicken until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add in water, soy sauce, vinegar, laurel leaf and black pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes then add the potatoes. Simmer again for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked. Season with magic sarap, sugar and patis or salt.

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I was searching for this kind of chicken adobo and found your blog.
hi manny first of all thank you for this recipes, i have something to add with your instructions on number 4. please dont forget to stir one in a while because in my experience na overcooked po yung manok. and instead of 20 mins gawin nyo nalang pong 15 mins , kasi after po nang 20 mins puro manok at mantika nalang ang natira. god bless and thank you

Hi Romnick, good luck and thanks for your comment!
hi manny..i think 10 minutes after ilagay ang mga suka,soysauce and water…ilagay na din ang patatas kc matutuyo na ang sauce if mag hintay ng 20 min. and medyo matigas pa ang patatas kung 10 min. lng…but the taste and aroma though was perfect with your recommended measurement…cheers
