Being one of the most favorite foods of Filipinos, the adobo has
several variations. The chicken pork adobo is a recipe that is always
present in the weekly menus of families since it is a combination of two
of the most loved meats for the Pinoy palate. It also works to the
advantage of moms who get confused between pork adobo and chicken adobo
because there is no more need to make a choice between the two. In my
case, my husband loves pork adobo while my son always requests for
chicken adobo. To satisfy them both, I always end up cooking chicken
pork adobo instead.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless and cut into 2-inch pieces)

- 2 bay leaves (torn)
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns (coarsely ground)

- Remove the meat from the cooking liquid. Place the liquid back to the stock pot and let simmer.
- Over medium-high heat, cook the meat in vegetable oil while stirring. Go on cooking until all the sides of the meat turns brown. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the remaining smashed garlic.
