#AnongBaonMoChris S05E04! . Paella con Pollo 🇪🇸👨🏽‍🍳 . Tapping into colonial influences for this week’s meal prep! Given the recipe lacked more kick with just chili powder, I opted to add a pinch of chili flakes; Also went with chicken on the side instead of mixing it. Sabi nga ng backpack ni Dora: “¡Nomnomnom, delicioso!” #WehChris . #ChrisCooks #instagood #instafood

Nothing beats the thrill of watching an ADMU-DLSU game! Sweet 7-0👌🏽 #OneBigFight #GoAteneo (at Mall of Asia Arena)

#AnongBaonMoChris: Fishda Edition! . Southwest Cream Dory with Boiled Vegetables and Turmeric Rice 👨🏽‍🍳 . Taking a break from chicken breast ~swimming~ onto fish! Original recipe was smoked but since I got no time, I went to the pan 😭 The turmeric rice was a last minute change but its subtle flavor really complemented the heat of the spice mix!👌🏽 . #ChrisCooks #instagood

#AnongBaonMoChris S05E02 . Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry with Blanched Vegetables 👨🏽‍🍳 . Bending strict no-fry rule a bit for this week and dabbling into stir-fry! Was on the fence at first whether to separate all the vegetables but adding the broccoli to the mix helped balance the savory taste!👌🏽 . #ChrisCooks #instagood

Nag-walling na, may matching bintana pa!! 😂 #Walling #WallGame #WindowGame #instagood (at The Greenery)

#AnongBaonMoChris S04E03 Pasta Edition! . Grilled Vegetable Rigatoni with Grilled Chicken 👨🏽‍🍳 . Adding a hwalthy twist to my favorite pasta! Cooked too much noodles and had a slight lack of sauce 😓but the smoky and sweet vegtable flavors coupled with the tangy tomato sauce and slightly zingy chicken make for an ok lunch meal! 👌🏽 . #ChrisCooks #instagood

#AnongNilutoMoChris Long Weekend Special! 👨🏽‍🍳 . Lean Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy, Mashed Potatoes and Blanched Veggies . Taking a break from chicken breast for dinner and going into (lean) red meats haha! Kept the recipes simple and stuck to the freshest ingredients. 👌🏽😌 Sometimes, simple is better! #ChrisCooks #instagood

#AnongBaonMoChris S04E02 . Spinach-Tomato-Cheese Stuffed Chicken with Blanched Vegetables & Black Rice 👨🏽‍🍳 . Pushing the boundaries of the trusty chicken breast by stuffing it with other food! More surpised of how the chicken sits well with the rice and vegs! Indeed, don't be afraid to try new things. 👌🏽 . #MealPrepSunday #ChrisCooks #nofilter

#AnongBaonMoChris S03E04 - Season Finale! . Whole Wheat Chicken Tortilla Wraps with Homemade Guacamole & Sour Cream 👨🏽‍🍳 . Mixing up the meal prep game by going into wraps! Pan-toasted the tortilla with the filling to givd that "crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside" feeling. Guacamole is made with honest-to-goodness ingredients to keep it as close to the authentic taste. Putting it all together makes lunch a bit more interesting! 🎉 #ChrisCooks #MealPrepSundayPeroNapostNgMonday
