If you’re a fan of Asian cuisine, and you’ve been a fan of the Anabolic Diet Framework – high in protein, low in fats and carbs, I have a delicious Filipino dish for you!
Introducing Anabolic Chicken Adobo!
Cooking Time:
- Prep Time: 1 Hour
- Cooking Time: 1 Hour
- Total Time: 2 Hours
Ingredients:
- 4-5 Pounds of Skinless Chicken Thigh (Substitute Chicken Breast if you really want to go Anabolic!)
- Bay Leaves 3~6
- Crushed Garlic Cloves 4~10
- 1 Tablespoon of Peppercorn
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
Utensils Required:
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Cutting Board
- Knife – We like using Santoku knives
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Dutch Oven (If you have one, otherwise, use a regular pot – but trust me, invest in a Dutch Oven – your cooking capabilities will expand infinitely if you go this route! The brand we use is Staub)
Instructions:
- Take all of the above ingredients, put them into a large mixing bowl, and marinate for an hour minimum. The longer you marinate, the longer the flavor will sit in!
- Put all the ingredients into a dutch oven, let the ingredients simmer for an hour, and voila! You have yourself some delicious Anabolic Chicken Adobo!
- OPTIONAL – if you want to add more flavor, when you put all the ingredients in the dutch oven or pot, add another 1/2 cup of soy sauce and 1/2 cup of white vinegar (This will make the adobo ooze with flavor!)
What makes this dish so anabolic? Depending on the meat you use, whether its chicken thigh or chicken breast you’re going to end up with a really lean dish!
Perfect for losing weight or perfect for maintaining your physique and not having to eat just regular old chicken breast with broccoli. (You’re gonna go crazy if that’s all you’re gonna eat!)
Where’s the finished picture, you ask?
Embarrassing…but when I served myself the dish, I got way too excited that I couldn’t even take a picture! I hope these pictures do you all justice though! Trust me, this is a recipe you won’t want to miss out on! All the protein, all the flavor, you get to enjoy yourself and achieve your diet goals!
How are we trying to change the game?
We love Asian cuisine, and we realize how there are many Asian dishes that are very simple – yet aid in helping you achieve your nutritious goals all while living a normal life and being able to hang out with your friends! Want to go out and get pho, but don’t want all the carbohydrates with a low amount of protein? Get a rice dish instead! Try to adopt the Anabolic framework with Asian foods, with what we’re trying to do with chicken adobo!
