Easy Chicken Tinola Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Tinola is a Filipino Chicken Soup Dish. This easy chicken tinola recipe is composed of chicken and vegetables along with a good amount of ginger. There are many ways to prepare Chicken Tinola. This recipe is another way of making this cold weather favorite in a much easier way using alternative ingredients.

Traditional tinola will require you to make use of green papaya. This ingredient may not be easily accessible to some people. As an alternative, we are using chayote for this recipe. I also made use of chicken broth. This will help you cook the dish faster because it eliminates the need to simmer the chicken for several minutes just to extract its flavor. Hot pepper leaves or malunggay are the usual greens, but you can always use spinach.
