Chicken Tinola

May 30, 2007 - sorry for the blurry pic! Traditional Filipino Comfort Food I've been feeling a bit under the weather (and it may have something to do with all the fun in the sun this past Memorial Day weekend...) so I made a traditional Filipino soup dish - I find it pretty simple and oh so GOOD when you need a little pick-me-up. What you'll need: (with help from Pinoy Mix) 1 whole chicken (cut into parts or choice cuts of breast, thighs or wings) 2 1/2 cups young papaya or chayote [I only used 1 chayote] 1/2 cup chilli pepper leaves 5 cups water [it depends on how much broth you want] 2 tablespoons ginger (chopped) 1/2 head garlic (minced) 1 medium onion (diced) 3 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons patis/fish sauce pinch of salt and pepper (to taste) rice (optional) Directions: 1. - 13 Comments
