Receta Adobo sa Gata (Chicken in Coconut Milk)
This version of the all time Filipino favorite dish 'adobo' has a twist by adding coconut milk. It still has the delectable taste of adobo with the tangy coco milk thickness. My kid love this too.

- Add half of the coconut milk into the simmering dish -do not stir, let it boil.
