Nilagang Manok


Finally a slow day for the Expat Mommy and the girls. Today we were supposed to go ice skating with Big Ate's friends, but they were not able to make it, so we decided to cancel the plan. 
For today's lunch I opted to make a simple dish that best fits our relaxed mood. Was initially thinking of making tinola but I also remembered I haven't posted a recipe for quite a while now, so I decided to make something new that I think you readers would also be interested in making as a break to the holiday dishes we've been eating this season.
I know in other households, nilagang manok is quite common. But iI in ours, this is something new, in fact I think this would be the first time we'll be serving this in our table. I just hope the girls would like it. We are just used to having beef for nilaga, sometimes pork, but chicken... not really :)
Well, what can I say, not bad at all! And the best part is that the girls received it well. They all loved it specially our Small Ate, who loved her "potato soup" siding. What she usually asked her yaya to do whenever we cook nilaga is to mash the potatoes in a small bowl and mi it with a small amount of broth. Just like what you would give to an infant, hehe! Well, if that's one way she would enjoy the dish, then who am I to oppose it, right? :)

Ingredients:
1 chicken, chopped 
1 small onion, quartered
1 small potatoes, quartered
1 cabbage wedge, chopped
spring onions chopped
2 green peppers
salt and pepper
4-5 cups water


Method:
Season chicken with salt and place in a casserole with one cup of water. Put over medium high heat and cook until boiling. Remove scum as it rises.
Add the rest of the water and bring to a boil then add the potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender.
Season with salt and pepper as desired. 
Add the cabbage, and green peppers and simmer for another 3-5 minutes then add the spring onions. Cover then turn off the heat after 2 minutes.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with hot rice. Enjoy!
