What are some philipino chicken dishes that you serve over rice?

Question

When I was younger, I had a wonderful babysitter who was Pilipino. She used to make this great chicken dish that she would serve over white rice. I do not remember any exact details but I do know that the dish had chicken, maybe some vegetables and had a savory soup-like sauce. I know this is all very general, but I would like to make this meal again. Does anyone know any recipes for meals like this? The meal may be a philipino dish or may not. If you know please help. :) Thanks

Answer 1

Chicken Adobo http://www.filipinorecipe.com/meat_and_fish_dishes/chicken_adobo.htm

Chicken Adobo
Ingredients
1 whole Chicken
1 tbsp Pepper
1 tbsp Salt
1 cup Peanut Oil
1/4 cup Distilled white vinegar
1 head Macerated Garlic

Preparation
Cut your chicken into pieces, add the salt and pepper, then place in a large saucepan with the vinegar, and macerated garlic, letting it simmer until the chicken is tender. You can add water if you feel the chicken is getting dry. Once it reaches the desired tenderness, add the peanut oil and stir fry until the chicken is golden brown.

Answer 2

Try this, boil a whole dressed chicken until cooked then hang dry. Finely chop ginger, about 1/4 cup, season with salt & pepper, then add olive oil. This will serve as your sauce. Now, pat dry the chicken, chop and serve the ginger sauce over it with your rice on the side.

Answer 3

Maybe Chicken Papaya or Chicken Marungay? The marungay leaves would add a bitter, slightly citrusy flavor that is an acquired taste. In the papaya recipe, be sure to use green papaya NOT ripe. It tenderizes the meat, and ends up kinda like potato chunks

Chicken Papaya
3 to 4 large chicken thighs
4 T. oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 thumb size minced fresh ginger
1/2 t. salt and 1/4 t. sugar
6 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 # green papayas

Cut chicken in 1 inch cubes. Heat oil, in heavy skillet, fry garlic until
browned, remove and discard. Add chicken and ginger, cook until browned, add
salt, sugar and broth. Cover and simmer until chicken is tender. Meanwhile,
cut papaya into 1 inch cubes and add to soup. Do not let the papaya get
mushy. This make about 10 cups of soup. You can cut the recipe in half.
