Step 1
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add eggs and cook for 7 minutes, then transfer to ice water.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown chicken chunks on all sides, ~5 minutes total.
Step 3
Add 4 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour soy sauce and vinegar over chicken. Simmer uncovered for 6 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to meat.
Step 5
Heat 1 tbsp oil in another skillet. Stir-fry remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, then add rice and frozen vegetables. Cook 2 minutes until heated through.
Step 6
Peel and halve the hard-boiled eggs. Divide garlic rice between bowls, top with adobo chicken, sauce, and egg halves.
