Chestnut Braised Chicken

Chestnut Braised Chicken

Overview

When autumn and winter come, I will be particularly happy. In addition to eating more and gaining more meat, the happiest thing is that I can eat fresh chestnuts and ginkgo. Let’s talk about chestnuts. In fact, they are nuts like walnuts, peanuts and melon seeds, but they are not as oily as other ones. Eating too much will cause diarrhea (of course you will gain weight, but food is not important at the moment), so I still eat a lot. The larger ones are crisper, while the smaller ones are sweeter and waxy. Each has its own advantages. In addition to eating it empty-mouthed, it is also a good choice to eat it with chicken. Add some mushrooms and it is really a rice killer!
