Braised chicken and fruit and vegetable salad

When my husband is killing time waiting for a client, he likes browsing in supermarkets. He knows the prices and the new brands. But he can’t estimate the quantity needed for a meal. He called me up the other night to say he was buying some vegetables for a salad. Yeah, he bought everything. Except that the proportions were kinda screwed. Two huge bags of romaine lettuce but only one apple and two oranges. Anyway, I shouldn’t complain. How many husbands take interest in doing the marketing?

I was planning on having chicken adobo that night. I wasn’t counting on having vegetables since the rains hadn’t abated and we couldn’t get decently priced good quality vegetables. But, since my husband did at the supermarket, I thought I’d rethink what to do with the chicken. Chicken adobo wouldn’t have gone well with the salad he wanted. So, I thought braised chicken would be a good idea.
