This is because chicken dishes are very diverse, you can make as many chicken recipes as you can and still get a unique taste for each of them. It can be cooked with soup and vegetables, fried, baked, broiled or with sauce.

Chicken meat is a good substitute for other meat products when you are on a diet because of its healthy features. Fat is easily avoided when skin is removed, unlike in beef and pork where the fats are embedded onto the meat, specially beef. Btw, this recipe was done by Chef Sandy Daza at one cooking event which we also tried cooking at home.

One lazy afternoon, classes was suspended due to strong typhoon, so the whole family was present. The weather was so cold so I decided to cook something hot to warm the body. I planned to cook Champorado (Chocolate porridge) but I have no stock of cocoa powder (I’m using Hershey’s). Then I saw chicken in the freezer, fine,  it will be  Arroz Caldo (chicken rice porridge) for our merienda (afternoon snack).

Ingredients:

• 2 cups  uncooked sticky rice (malagkit)
• 1/2 kilo chicken cut into pieces
• 1 med. onion chopped
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tbsp. chopped ginger
• 2-3 tbsp. fish sauce (patis)
• 1 chicken cube
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

• In a deep sauce pan, saute ginger, garlic and onion
• Add the chicken and stir occasionally, when chicken changed color
• Add fish sauce or patis, let it simmer to make the chicken absorb the taste of patis
• Add 6-8 cups of water and simmer until chicken is cooked or tender.
• Add the sticky rice and chicken cube,  continue cooking with constant stirring to prevent rice from sticking at the bottom of the pan.
• When the rice started to burst and soften, season with salt and pepper.
• Remove from heat and serve hot, garnish with fried garlic and  spring onion.

You can partner it with fried tokwa (tofu) and boiled pork dipped in the mixture of vinegar, onion, garlic, soy sauce and little sugar.

Enjoy!
