Morning or Day Before
In a BOWL, mix garlic, tamari, vinegar, Chicken Adobo Spices [1], Chicken Adobo Spices [2]*), and salt to taste (1 tsp recommended). Add chicken. Mix well, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours (overnight recommended). Stir at around half time.
Dinner Evening
Cook rice according to package instructions.
Drain garlic and chicken in a strainer. Keep marinade for later.
In a PAN, heat oil and fry drained chicken and garlic, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until browned on all sides.
Add marinade and 1/2 cup water. Mix well, cover, and bring to boil.
Turn heat down to slow. Simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 10 - 15 minutes.
