Anything with coconut milk is a hit. Saute garlic and onions. Add chicken and brown a little. Add string beans. Cover pot and let cook for a few minutes. Add coconut milk and put under low fire. Let simmer and reduce sauce until it gets a little oily.

Saute ginger and onion, add the chicken, season with "patis" or fish sauce and ground pepper. Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly and brown it a little before adding water. Add the sayote once it boils. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes depending on the chicken part. Add malunggay leaves or "dahon ng sili". Serve hot.
Thursday: Chicken with Oyster Sauce
My Chicken with Oyster Sauce is my "lazy dish". I simply marinate the chicken with soy sauce, a little vinegar, a little sugar, pepper and oyster sauce. Place all the ingredients in a pot, add a little water and cook over low fire until the sauce reduces and the chicken is tender.

Friday: Kalamansi Butter Chicken
This is a version of the Lemon Butter Chicken. Since kalamansi is readily available, I decided to use it instead of using lemon (which is more expensive). Pan fry chicken breast fillet dredged in flour. On the same pan, melt butter, season with salt and sugar. Finally, add the kalamansi juice and let boil briskly before removing from fire.

Saturday: Adobong Matamis
I call this adobong matamis simply because I add sugar into it. My husband loves anything sweet so he requests that the adobo be made sweet instead of sour.

Sunday: Chicken Curry
One of my favorites! I cook this almost every week. I use a little cheat for my coconut milk though, I use the "Knorr Ginataang Gulay Mix Sitaw and Kalabasa".
