Overview

There are many ways to prepare chicken in my hometown, and the most popular one is braised chicken with mushrooms. When I was a child, our family raised some chickens every year and slaughtered a few during the New Year and holidays. These chickens are completely free-range. They leave their nests before dawn every day to look for food, and do not return home until evening. Because it is in a state of activity for a long time, the meat of chicken is particularly delicious. Flower mushrooms are the best among shiitake mushrooms because they are rich in nutrients and have the functions of disease prevention, fitness, and anti-aging. Their texture is crisper and more tender than ordinary shiitake mushrooms, and their taste is more delicious. They are welcomed and liked by many people. The deliciousness of the mushrooms and the nutrition of the chicken make this dish sweet and tender, full of aroma, and its nutritional value is very high. The essence of chicken is melted into the soup, coupled with the fragrant aroma of mushrooms, so this dish with full color, flavor and flavor has won the hearts of many people.
