Chicken Binakol is a native dish of Iloilo. If you try this dish, you would say that this is just an ordinary Chicken Tinola. Yes, it’s a chicken tinola but with a twist….. a slightly sweeter version because of the addition of fresh coconut water and coconut meat to add more flavor.

The preparation is almost the same as the regular Tinolang Manok, saute some onion, garlic, ginger in oil, add the chicken until brown, the add the chayote……. and lastly, the coconut water and coconut meat.

3 tablespoon Fish Sauce (patis)
2 pieces Chicken broth
4 cloves Garlic
1 piece Onion

1 piece Young coconut
