Stewed Chicken with Chestnuts: Delicious and Nutritious
Chicken and stewed with it, the taste is so good that you won't be able to put down your chopsticks, nutritious and suitable for all ages.
Hi everyone, it's time to share delicious food! I'm your old friend Yijun, and today we're sharing chestnut stewed chicken.
Chestnuts are nuts, and their sticky texture is due to their rich starch content. However, they have a low fat content. Chestnuts have the effects of spleen strengthening and Qi nourishing, as well as kidney tonifying and strengthening. So, when chestnuts are ripe, I always buy them to peel and store for later eating. Everyone can also stock up on chestnuts and stew them with chicken or ribs.
The chicken is rich in nutrients and has a high protein content, which is easily absorbed and utilized by the human body, making it suitable for people who want to lose weight. Chicken meat also nourishes the body and doesn't make you fat!
The perfect combination of chicken and chestnuts is a taste of deliciousness and nutrition. Come and try it!

Tips: (1) Chestnuts can be soaked in water for ten minutes, and peeling them while hot is easy. (2) When blanching, the chicken must be in cold water to remove blood foam, and the blanched chicken pieces must be washed repeatedly. This step is crucial for the deliciousness of the chicken. (3) If you don't have a whole chicken, you can use chicken legs, which is also very delicious. (4) If you buy young chickens or tender chicken, you can shorten the cooking time. If you buy old chickens, you need to increase the cooking time.
