Chicken Tinola ALA Cassie

Hi Loves!

So today is Saturday here and since it's a weekend it means no office work for me Yehey!! So I got all the time to sleep and just rest and be Lazy. But most importantly I got to do the things I love to do and one of that is to cook! My sister and her husband went to the market earlier today and bought some chicken and ask me to cook Chicken Tinola. Mainly because our little baby guy Lucas love it. 

I myself love chicken cooked with broth because to be honest I'm a soup girl. To give you a brief background of what Tinola is it's actually a soup-based dish served as a appetizer or a main entree here in the Philippines. It's traditionally cooked in onions, ginger, garlic, sayote or papaya wedges and leaves of siling labuyo or chilli pepper or for some they used the malungay leaves (moringa). There's no exact history to where this dish has originated but the dish was mentioned in our National heroes book called Noli Me Tangere.

So now, I'm going to share with you my own recipe and the way I personally cooked my Chicken Tinola. The Ingredients and Instructions are written below:


Ingredients:                                                        

1 big Onion head

Chilli pepper leaves (Siling Labuyo)

2 tbsp Ginger minced

 

1 tbsp. Garlic

 

1/2 chicken meat

3 pcs. Sayote cut into wedge

How to Cook:

1. Saute first the garlic, onion and garlic.
