Adobo Chicken

Since the sauce reduces, I double the sauce to capture all the deliciuos flavors. This is a great quick & easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp canola oil
8 bone-in chicken thighs, skinned
2 cups chopped onion
5 garlic cloves, minced
6 Tbsps low-sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsps water
3 Tbsps white vinegar
2 Tbsps honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat
Add chicken to pan; sauté 4 minutes on each side or until browned
Remove chicken from pan
Add onion to pan; sauté 3 minutes
Add garlic; sauté 1 minute, stirring frequently
Return chicken to pan
Add soy sauce and next 5 ingredients (through bay leaf); bring to a boil
Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 12 minutes
Uncover and cook 20 minutes or until chicken is done and sauce thickens
Discard bay leaf
Serve over rice
