Filipino Tinola

I can't believe there's no recipe for tinola on this site. it's a staple of filipino cuisine, and it's basically a ginger chicken stewish soup. i've modified my mom's recipe to include only chicken breasts, as the original includes all sorts of chicken parts that i don't eat. as filipino recipes are meant to be taste-tested at every step and tweaked to one's liking, these should only be general guidelines to help you perfect your own tinola recipe.

Steps

Saute garlic , onion and ginger in oil for 30 seconds over med heat.
Add chicken and saute until chicken meat turns white.
Add fish sauce.
Cover and simmer until chicken is almost completely cooked.
At this point , there will be a fair amount of broth , since all the juices from the chicken are coming out.
Add water.
Add chayote and simmer for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Serve over rice.

Ingredients

chicken breasts, garlic cloves, onion, gingerroot, fish sauce, chayote, olive oil, water
