Tinolang Manok

Tinolang Manok or Tinola is a soupy dish that is very popular here in the Philippines. It is actually the favorite dish of the world class filipino boxer "People's Champ" Manny Paquiao who is now an elected senator in the country.


Tinola is a perfect dish during rainy days. The soup itself will keep your body feeling warm because of the ginger in it. Plus, a study shows that chicken soup is a remedy for colds & flu. This chicken soup recipe is a complete dish and packed with benefits. It has protein coming from the chicken and vegetables that provide the vitamins that you need during rainy season.

One last thing. Tinolang Manok is so easy & simple to prepare and cook. You can actually have it in 35 minutes or less. So whenever I'm in a rush because the kids are already coming home from school, I always cook them Tinola and I never failed to get a grade of A+ from them.
