If there is one vegetable I keep a good stock of, it would be the pear-shaped gourd, chayote (technically, it is a fruit!). Not only is it relatively cheap, chayote is also a very versatile ingredient. I like to eat it raw in salads, add in soups or stews, and toss into quick stir-fry dishes such as this ginisang sayote with chicken.

I used boneless chicken thigh meat for this recipe but bone-in chicken parts cut into bite-sized pieces works well, too. If you are up for shrimp, you can find the recipe–here. Enjoy!

    Hi Ms. Lalaine I cooked this dish last Sunday and my kids truly loved it. The procedure was simple and very easy to follow.

      Thanks, Joanna, for the feedback. I am glad the kids loved it. I know when my daughter was growing up, I had a hard time figuring out what to cook as she had very particular (or peculiar!) taste in food.
