Adobo Chicken
submitted by Stephanie Partridge

about 2 lbs. of chicken breasts, cut into 1/3's or smaller
1 tsp. salt
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 cup shortening
1/16 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. cayenne
2 Tbsp. curry powder
1/2 garlic pod (this means a lot of cloves) pressed
2 Tbsp. coriander
2 tomatoes, chopped
opt. 1/2 to full can of coconut milk.

Brown onion in shortening. Add tomatoes, garlic and spices. Cook 2 minutes. Add chicken and stir about 15 minutes on medium heat. Cover and let simmer 1-1 1/2 hours.(If you choose to add coconut milk add it half way through simmering) If it looks like it's getting too dry add a little bit of water. This is VERY hot without coconut milk. The more coconut milk you add the milder it becomes. I added a full can. Serve with rice.
