Chicken Adobo

18 min

4 servings

On hot days, don’t sweat dinner—literally! Let the microwave do the heat-busting, heavy lifting. At the same time, our seasoning blend brings electric, Mexican adobo flavour without having to chop up anything but the chicken. All the chilies, tomatoes, and aromatic spices (over 15 of them!) are right in the blend.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1⁄2 pkg Chicken Barbacoa Seasoning or Pulled Pork Seasoning
  • 4 cups frozen, mixed veggies
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

Preparation

  1. Cut chicken into 1" pieces, then place in Round Steamer. Add seasoning, frozen veggies, water, olive oil, and tomato paste to steamer; stir to combine.
  2. Cover and microwave on high 14–16 min, stirring halfway through, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbling.
