Description
Keto Chicken Adobo is a savory chicken stew that is both delicious and low in carbs, perfect for those following a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, water, minced garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and smoked paprika in a mixing bowl.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade (keeping the marinade for later) and place the thighs skin-side down in the pot. Sear for approximately 5-7 minutes until golden crust forms, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add the sliced onion to the same pot and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pot and pour the reserved marinade over it.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to maintain a slow cook. Cover the pot and allow the chicken to stew for 30-40 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked and tender.
- For a thicker sauce, uncover the pot and let it simmer for an extra 5-10 minutes. Adjust salt as needed.
- Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.
