Very flavorful recipe, however I too found it to be extremely salty. Next time I will cut down on the adobo and probably leave out the bouillon.

Good recipe-will make again but I found it very salty.

I season my chicken really good with Adobo first and then I brown it. I also add a 8oz can of Corona with 2 cups of Chicken stock. I feel like that helps with the salt intake.

I don't really cook but I try to surprise my girl with something n the pollo came out banging!! I read the comments about how it was salty and what not, so I added one of the Chinese spicy Sause and it dead hit the spot. Thanks a lot for helping me make this miss.
