Full Recipe Below 👇🧀

Ingredients/Content:
Elbow macaroni, chicken thighs, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, cheddar cheese, mozzarella, butter, milk, flour, breadcrumbs, black pepper.

Recipe/Cooking Steps:
Cook the chicken adobo first by simmering chicken thighs with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and black pepper until tender and flavorful. Shred the chicken and set aside.

Boil macaroni until al dente. In another saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Slowly pour in milk while stirring continuously. Add cheddar and mozzarella cheese until smooth and creamy.

Combine the pasta, shredded adobo chicken, and cheese sauce together. Transfer into a baking dish and top with breadcrumbs and extra cheese. Bake until bubbling and golden brown on top.

Serve hot with cracked black pepper and chopped parsley. The tangy adobo flavor mixed with creamy cheese creates a rich and addictive comfort dish.

Tips:
Use smoked cheddar for deeper flavor. Broil for 2 minutes at the end for crispy topping.
