Tinolang Manok or Chicken stew is a traditional Filipino soup made from papayas, chili leaves, and chicken. It is easy to prepare and makes an utterly delicious lunch for the whole family. It’s much tastier when a native chicken is used. If native chickens are not available, then any type of chicken can be used. This also applies to papayas, as chayotes can be use in their place. Spinach can also be used when no chili leaves are available. Basically, it is extremely easy to cook and perfect for rainy days. However, you can cook tinola in any type of weather. If you are craving for this recipe, get ready, make it, and enjoy the hot, delicious soup.
