A&S Recipes: Jen and Dianne’s Pancit

This month, we’re celebrating 45 years of tradition. All month, we’ll be sharing the traditional recipes that the A&S team enjoys during the holiday season—a little gift from our family to yours. 

Here is a traditional Filipino dish from Jen Lopez and Dianne Mariano, two of our real estate experts. 

“This dish represents long life and good health. Whether you believe in the symbolism or not, pancit will surely satisfy your hunger and it will always be a great reminder of how truly important every single string of life is.” 

Although there are a variety of ways to cook this dish, Jen and Dianne agree that these are the key ingredients you’ll need to make a traditional Filipino pancit.

– 3 cloves garlic, minced 

– 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced

– 4 carrots, thinly sliced
