What's for dinner? Tinolang Manok! (Chicken Ginger Stew with Vegetables)

Now that I am going to be a Mama...I am "trying" to make an effort to do more motherly duties such as cooking dinner, in order to practice and someday, be decent with these chores. I have spoiled myself the last few years, as I have not had to worry about anything really, except myself. When I am hungry, I buy food or my hubby cooks me something. But obviously, now that I am going to be a Mama, I'd like to someday be able to feed by child, healthy and edible food.

Here is the recipe for our dinner tonight....Tinolang Manok. I used to eat this chicken ginger stew a lot, when I lived with my parents. Lately, I've only had the chance to eat it when I go to the Filipino eatery places (and what they have was never that good).

Ingredients:
Chayote, Spinach, Chicken (cut into desired size), Ginger, Onion, Garlic, Patis or Salt, Pepper

Procedure:
Saute, ginger,garlic and onion. Add chicken and brown all sides. Add patis or salt, ground black pepper and let it simmer. Add enough water to cover your chicken, more can be added if preferred. When chicken is almost done add the Chayote (or Papapa if you can find it) and do not over cooked it. Lastly, add the spinach. Once the spinach and chayote are cooked, it's ready! Serve hot with steamed rice.

Yummy!
