Chinese food will always be my comfort food. Today I decided to cook my Braised Chicken With Potatoes recipe. This dish is very tasty and homey.
You will be easily find this dish in any Chinese restaurant. I like to cook the potatoes and carrot upfront, just to get my kind of texture, not too mushy or to hard.
Hopefully, you enjoy my recipe today!
