Chicken with ampalaya in oyster sauce is a quick and easy dish that you can make for lunch or dinner. Whether you are cooking just for yourself or for the whole family, this dish will surely be a hit. Aside from being easy, Chicken with Ampalaya is also healthy because it is rich in protein and other nutrients.

Not everyone here might like Ampalaya. I get it. The bitter taste of this healthy vegetable makes it less appetizing. However, you can always try to do something to make it taste less bitter – like rubbing salt on it to let the bitter juices go out, perhaps. You can also try to have it regularly so that you will get used to the taste. In my opinion, the health benefits of Ampalaya will outweigh its bitter taste.

I enjoy this dish with a cup of warm brown rice. Sometimes, I also have this with Ensaladang Talbos ng Kamote.

Try this Chicken with Ampalaya Recipe. Let me know what you think.

    I’ve tried this recipe once, during our lunch break, my colleagues cant help asking how was I able to cook such the fact that they know that I’m not into cooking. I just smile and give a shrug, and let them enjoy the food. I may say that I wouldn’t share this website to anyone, it’s their job to discover where I’ve learned such simple to follow recipes.

      Hi Mel, you are most welcome. You can reduce the bitter taste of ampalaya by soaking it in water with 3 tablespoons of salt for 1 hour. Make sure that you squeeze the ampalaya while washing it wit running water later on.
