How to Make Braised Chicken and Potatoes

Braised Chicken and Potatoes is a comforting, one-pot dish with tender chicken, melt-in-your-mouth potatoes, and a savory sauce. Here’s a simple guide to making it:

Ingredients: 500g chicken (cut into pieces), 3 potatoes (peeled and cubed), 2 onions (sliced), 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tbsp cooking oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Optional: a bay leaf for extra flavor.

Steps:

1. Prep the ingredients: Rinse chicken and pat dry. Toss with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat; sear chicken until golden, then set aside.

2. Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add potatoes and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.

3. Simmer together: Return chicken to the pot. Add oyster sauce, sugar, remaining soy sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well.

4. Cook until tender: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

5. Serve: Adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with rice or bread.

This hearty dish is perfect for family meals—easy to make and packed with flavor! Enjoy!
