Filipino Chicken Tinola

Chicken Tinola is a traditional Filipino soup dish that consists of chicken, green papaya, and ginger cooked in a light broth. It is often served with rice and garnished with chili peppers and fish sauce. The dish is typically prepared using chicken thighs or legs, which are simmered until tender. The green papaya and ginger are then added to the broth, and the dish is simmered until the papaya is tender and the flavors have blended. The dish is usually light and flavorful and is often prepared as a comfort food. Chicken Tinola is a popular dish in the Philippines and is served as both a main course and a side dish.

  • 4-5 chicken thighs, cut into pieces
