I am back after the long festive holidays. I had the chance of cooking a couple of dishes and this is one of them. My mum cooks this dish quite often too. I guess it's because it is quite easy and simple to cook. I usually remove the skin of the chicken prior to cooking this dish for health reasons. Furthermore, I don't like the dish to turn out with a layer of oil. In the picture below, I have yet to remove the skin.
Once you have mastered this dish, you can experiment with the ingredients - eg. adding baby corn, different types of mushrooms, celery etc.
This is my recipe for Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots and Mushrooms.
