Gluten-Free Chicken Adobo with Cauliflower Rice
A classic Filipino dish made gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce, served with cauliflower rice for a healthier twist.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs
- 1/2 cup Tamari (Gluten-Free)
- 1/4 cup White Vinegar
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Black Peppercorns
- 2 leaves Bay Leaves
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 4 cups Cauliflower Rice
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, 1/2 cup tamari, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 6 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp black peppercorns, and 2 leaves bay leaves. Stir well to coat the chicken. Cover the bowl and let it marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- 2Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp coconut oil and heat until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully add the marinated 1.5 lbs chicken thighs to the pot, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned.
- 3Pour the remaining marinade from the bowl into the pot with the chicken. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- 4While the chicken is simmering, prepare the 4 cups cauliflower rice. If using pre-riced cauliflower, heat a separate large skillet over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C). Add the 4 cups cauliflower rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
- 5Remove the bay leaves from the pot. Serve the chicken adobo spooned over the prepared 4 cups cauliflower rice.
