Creamy Filipino Chicken Adobo Pasta + Recipe Video

May 3, 2019

If you are not aware of Filipino Chicken Adobo, it is probably the most famous dish in the Philippines. Abodo is derived from the Spanish word “adobar” which means “marinade”. Not to be confused with Spanish adobo, a Filipino adobo dish is traditionally made with chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, black pepper and salt.

Chicken Adobo is one of the dishes I’ve made countless times. Although I always make it, I haven’t tried using the leftovers aside from Chicken Adobo Fried Rice because we rarely have leftovers to make a new dish. But when I have tried pasta with a creamy chicken adobo sauce, I had to cook more than I usually do just so I can try making my own version. I thought it was weird, but it’s not.

So what’s Creamy Filipino Chicken Adobo Pasta? It’s a pasta dish with shredded chicken from the chicken adobo + it’s sauce, evaporated milk and cream as the main ingredients. It’s a dish that’s so easy to make, unique but deliciously comforting. I love the addition of lemon juice with a bit peppery taste.

The secret to making the delicious pasta – the chicken adobo must be tasty. You can use your own chicken adobo recipe. I used the recipe of my Filipino Chicken Adobo in Calamansi.
