Crock Pot Chicken Madras Recipe Filipino

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Brown all the chicken pieces in batches. This step is highly suggested for depth of flavor and to lessen grease accumulation over all. If in a hurry, simply place the chicken pieces in the slow cooker. Alternatively, you can use skinless chicken pieces to avoid the browning process.
• Mix together the vinegar and soy sauce. Place the browned chicken pieces in the slow cooker. Pour the vinegar mixture all over the chicken. Evenly distribute the garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves. If you don't fancy picking out the peppercorns on your plate, feel free to replace with freshly ground pepper but adjust the amount to your taste preference (a teaspoon to begin with). Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender.
• For a slightly sweeter adobo, add the sugar to the vinegar mixture or towards the end you can also sprinkle the sugar all over and gently stir it in. Serve with freshly cooked rice. Can be made a day or 2 ahead.

SLOW COOKER FILIPINO-STYLE CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, peppercorns, garlic and bay leaves and stir to combine. Add the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Cover and cook the chicken on low until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a plate. Strain the cooking liquid into a small pot. Place over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to a thick sauce. Place the chicken back in the slow cooker to stay warm while the sauce reduces.
• Spoon some rice into serving bowls. Top with the chicken and some of the sauce, then garnish with the pickled peppers and scallions.

SLOW COOKED MADRAS CHICKEN CURRY (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Lightly spray the interior of your crock pot with a light coating of cooking spray for easier clean up later.
• Cover the bottom of pot with the onions, garlic and jalapeños. Top with the chicken breasts. (Please make sure the onions are finely chopped as the desired result is to have them melt into the sauce.).
• Combine the curry powder, chutney, tomato paste and ginger together and pour over the chicken.
• Place the apples on top.
• Cook for 4-5 hours on high until the chicken is cooked and tender but not falling apart. Mix the sauce together so that all elements are blended. If you want a thicker sauce, remove the chicken from the crock pot and stir in a teaspoon or two of cornstarch and cook until the sauce is glossy.

FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely.

Do whichever please you).
