Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 inches ginger
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups spinach
- 2 medium chayote
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling and slicing the ginger into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the onion into thin wedges. Peel and cut the chayote into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ginger and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and onion to the pot, sautéing until the onions are translucent, around 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and pour in the fish sauce. Cook the chicken until lightly browned on all sides, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and water, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot, letting it cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 6
Add the chayote pieces to the pot and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, until the chayote is tender.
Step 7
Season the soup with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 8
Add the spinach leaves to the pot, stirring until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy your flavorful Keto Chicken Tinola.
