Quick & Simple Chicken Adobo for One
2 chicken thighs*, cut into bite-size pieces (you can use chicken breast or pork)
1 cup soysauce
1 cup vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
2 bayleaves
2-3 garlic cloves, smashed
Pinch of black peppercorns (or black pepper)

*Note: You can brown chicken beforehand, but not neccessary
Also, I forgot to add that you can add a cup of water OR pineapple juice. My MIL likes to add potatoes and raisins to her adobo.
