Braised chestnut chicken is a relatively common dish among Jiangsu cuisine. It is simple to make, rich in nutrients, and is very suitable for home making.
Not to mention the taste, the combination of chestnuts and chicken is a perfect classic. The chestnuts are soft and glutinous, and the chicken is delicious. It's not enough for my family to eat three meals in a row.
