A short History of what chickens are to the Philippines
Meat was seen as a ritualistic custom by Filipino ancestors, the ‘anito’ or ancestor spirits or nature spirits were revered and prayed to, to ask for fishing and agricultural abundance. The common practice was to sacrifice food to the anito, harvests like bananas, yams, millets, tubers, or games like chickens, pings, and other meats. The Ilongos offered fowls like chickens as part of the ‘lampong’ or of guardian of wild animals. While the Maranaws ate chicken while they raid some for ritual offerings.
Birds have been domesticated since around 4000 years ago, there were only 4 known species of wild fowl bred over time. The ‘Gallus Gallus” or red jungle fowls became the first domesticated chicken, centuries of crossbreeding different breeds of birds which then split into the 350 breeds we now recognize. In the Philippines, where the red jungle fowl still thrives, an estimated amount of 44% of native chickens or around 184.88 million chickens in 2019 were accounted for. Chickens nowadays are not only seen at cockfights, ceremonies, or a source of food, these have now incorporated themselves to food culture where most of the fast food restaurants serve chicken especially fried chicken as their main dish or can be found in any menus. You’ll be hard pressed to find a person who has never incorporated chicken into their diet, from soups, sandwich’s, salads, as part of a flavoring of noodles, chips, or broths to a healthy diet or eat chicken for protein which helps build up muscle.

No Oven Chicken Pizza

servingsA simple but delightful take on the pizza and chicken combo
Ingredients
- dough
3 cups all purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
3 tablespoons milk powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon yeast
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup warm water
- chicken
1 & 1/2 cup chicken fillet (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon oil
- toppings
1 cup tomato sauce
Sprinkle of oregano & garlic powder (optional)
Mozzarella cheese (any choice of cheese)
1/3 cup onion
1/4 cup olive
1/3 cup jalapeño
Directions
- For the chicken; in a bowl, mix together the chicken fillets, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Prepare a pan at medium heat, add oil and sauté the chicken till this changes in color and is a light shade of brown. Set aside.
- For the dough; mix together all purpose flour, milk powder, garlic powder, salt, sugar, yeast. Mix well, add oil and add 1 cup of water little by little, mixing this using your hand till this forms a shaggy dough.
- Place this on a smooth surface, and knead, adding more flour as kneader till it looks almost smooth and this bounces back when pressed. Place this in a oil greased bowl and cover for 2 to 3 hours or till it doubles in size.
- Place this back to the surface and knead to release air. Cut this in half or 4 parts to make a thinner base, which makes it easier to ‘bake’. Roll this into a thin circle.
- Oil a non stick pan and place the rolled dough inside. Pour 1/3 to ½ cup of tomato sauce, sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, top with any choice of cheese, the cooked chicken, onion, olives, and jalapeño, or any topping you’d like.
- Cover and place in a stove at medium high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or till the bottom of the dough browns or almost looks burnt.
- Slice and serve!
Notes
- You can leave the dough over night in the fridge, prepare it with toppings and bake tomorrow. Just make sure to let it at room temperature for a few minutes before using to easily handle the dough.
- Make sure your meat toppings are pre-cooked before placing it on the pizza.
- To fully check if the chicken is done. Poke this and see if the liquid comes out clear. If its still red or pink, sauté for a few more minutes.
