I am on Sick Leave today and I have thought of cooking Chicken Adobo for lunch then changed my mind of cooking Chicken Tinola instead. After my visit to the doctor, I went to the market near our block and bought the ingredients to Tinola. Chicken Tinola is just a simple dish which can be done in 45 minutes or less.

Anyway, here are the ingredients to the famous Filipino Chicken Tinola recipe:
1. Chicken cut in parts
2. ginger
3. onion
4. garlic
5. young papaya or chayote
6. chili leaves
7. fish sauce
8. salt and pepper

Here are the easy steps:
1. Sautee the garlic, onion and ginger in a casserole.
2. Add the chicken and water and wait until the chicken is cooked.
3. Add the fish sauce, chayote and wait until chayote is cooked.
4. Mix the chili leaves and set the flame off.
4. Add more fish sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

Serve it with hot rice and fish sauce as dip. I have tried it with brown rice and it wasn't as good with white rice.
