Ramadan Recipes: Filipino Chicken Estofado with Banana

Filipino Chicken Estofado with Banana is a flavorful dish enjoyed during Ramazan. Estofadong manok, similar to adobong manok, is made by mixing ingredients, letting them marinate, and cooking them together. Learning to cook this way isn't just simple; it makes a tasty meal.

However, some recipes make it even better. This version includes bananas, adding sweetness to the tangy sauce, making it heartier and more delightful. It's not your regular chicken estofado—it's an extra-special treat for Ramadan, blending flavors to create a unique and delicious dish.
