Filipino Yellow Chicken Adobo with Turmeric and Coconut Milk
Yellow chicken adobo is a classic Filipino dish that’s sweet and sour, luscious and creamy. It’s the perfect comfort food—warm, hearty, and full of flavor. Adobo is the Spanish word for marinade, but in this context refers to a specific style of cooking developed in the Philippines, where meat and/or vegetables are slowly cooked in a vinegar-based sauce. Originally, this served as a preservation technique; the acidic vinegar saturates the food, prolonging the time you can safely eat it.
