Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and julienned ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and sear on all sides until lightly browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let the chicken simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender.
Stir in the fish sauce, salt, and black pepper for seasoning.
Add the sliced chayote or zucchini to the pot and simmer until tender but not mushy, about 7-10 minutes.
Finally, add the spinach or moringa leaves. Stir gently and cook for 2-3 minutes, or just until the greens wilt.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Tinolang Manok!
