Chicken Tinola


There isn’t much I can say about this dish except that I really enjoy eating it. Gulping down the soup that warms your body and eating the soft meat of the chicken really makes my meal worth it. It isn’t just good to the taste, but it is also very easy to prepare. Theres nothing else I can say, actually but I would encourage you to try this exceptional Filipino dish

Here are the ingredients and instructions for preparations

1/2 kilo chicken, cut into serving pieces

4 cups chicken stock

2 cloves garlic, crashed

1 tbs crushed ginger

2 tbs sliced onion

1 medium green papaya or sayote, peeled, cut into diagonal thick slices

3 cups chilli leaves; or spinach; or pechay

Sautee garlic, onion, ginger. Add chicken and stir until partly cooked. Pour in chicken stock. Boil until meat is completely cooked. Add papaya and toss in spinach . Simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve in a soup bowl.

Yup, I'd agree with it being a very nice soup... Oh I remember the smell of it freshly cooked. I am not that fond of the actual solid food that comes with it, but I really love the soup. I sometimes would literally make a congee using my rice and the soup of this dish
