Chop the onion, crush the garlic and ginger, and cut the zucchini into large pieces.
Toss the onion, garlic, and ginger in vegetable oil for 3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chicken thighs and brown both sides for 7 minutes.
Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the chicken at a gentle simmer with the lid slightly open for 24 minutes.
Add the zucchini and continue cooking for 10 minutes, until tender.
Squeeze in the lime juice and serve with rice.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find green papaya, use zucchini rather than pumpkin; sweet pumpkin makes the sauce heavier than it should be.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ginataang manok hot with steamed rice, a lime wedge, and optional pickled cucumber.
