I don't know how I missed this recipe. It was actually in the same special issue magazine as the Chicken Pickletelli. In that post I commented that I didn't think adobo had pickle juice in it. Either I am wrong or this is a really weird version of Chicken Adobo.
Chicken Adobo
2-1/2 broiler chicken, cut up
3 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup dill pickle juice
1/2 cup water
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Dash pepper
1 medium dill pickle, diced
2 cups hot cooked rice
In large skillet brown chicken in oil. Drain chicken on paper towels and discard fat. Combine pickle liquid, water and seasonings in same skillet and add chicken. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add pickle and cook 5 minutes longer or until chicken is tender. Serve over rice.

Odd and weird recipes from my large cookbook collection.
Weird Recipe Origins
While persuing my many cookbooks, adverstising booklets and cooking magazines I sometimes come across a recipe where I truely wonder what the originator was thinking. Sometimes they just sound like a terrible combination of ingredients. Other times it is what I call, the ingredient that doesn't belong. This is usually a food company trying to promote the use of their product in an inappropriate recipe. Recipes that might have found favor in past decades are sometimes so out of date they seem weird now.
