Yen Can Cook ~ Braised Chicken With Potatoes

Today’s recipe is a very homey dish which I believe it is a very Chinese classic dish that many of you ate growing up. 

Braised Chicken With Potatoes – soft and tender chicken pieces and potato chunks, with savoury gravy that goes well with hot steamed rice, make sure you cook extra rice when you cook this dish!

1kg chicken, cut into chunks

3 medium size potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks. 

1/4 thumb-sized ginger, sliced

1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
