Experience the rich and savory flavors of Filipino cuisine with this easy-to-make, one-pan chicken adobo skillet. Tender chicken pieces are marinated in soy sauce and garlic, then simmered with bay leaves, vinegar, and spices creating a mouthwatering and aromatic dish.
In a large bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce and minced garlic. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coverage.
