Can you Make Chicken Adobo in the Crock Pot Slow Cooker?
Yes, you can. Just start with chicken that is already defrosted. Put everything in your crockpot slow cooker and turn on Low for a cooking time of 4 hours. When cooking time is complete add a slurry of 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch to 3 Tablespoons water to crockpot and then cook on HIGH 20 minutes longer. Do NOT add cornstarch directly to crockpot.
I really hope you enjoy this recipe. I can’t seem to get enough of it. It is also good if you are doing meal prep. I keep frozen bags of the entire recipe in my freezer. That way i just pull it out of the storage bag and pop it right in the Instant Pot for an even faster convenient meal.

Remove chicken from Instant Pot and set aside. Press cancel on Instant Pot. The press the SAUTE button and set to the High setting. Let sauce reduce until it becomes darker in color.
