Adobo Chicken

So D made this. He said it was easy. He also said it was nothing like what he expected. I'll give him that one, because when I saw Adobo I thought chipotle chiles (in adobo sauce). Anyway given the ingredients, we both knew we would like it and we were right. The sauce was really good on the rice. We had with Haricot Verts.
