Adobo has many regional variations and chicken and pork adobo is just one of the common interpretations of our quintessential Filipino stew. This version isn't really much different from adobo made solely of chicken or pork but since we are combining two types of meat that has varying cooking times, I like to brown my pork (which requires longer cook time) a bit before I add the chicken to prevent one from falling apart while the other sufficiently tenderizes. Give this dish a try for dinner tonight and let me know what you think.

First time kong magluto ng adobo for my family, buti nalang they loved it. I added a little sugar kasi it was too vinegary for my taste. I'll try again next time hanggang sa ma-perfect ko. Thank you for your recipe, Miss Lalaine!
Thanks for the 5-stars! I'm glad you were able to make the recipe work for you. I prefer a bit of sweetness in my adobo, too 🙂
