The baby likes to eat chestnut, so I made this chestnut roast chicken. Chestnut is rich in nutrition and contains a lot of nutrients such as starch, protein, fat, B vitamins, etc. It is known as the "king of dried fruits". It can prevent and treat hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis and other diseases.

At the same time, eating it regularly is beneficial to children's mouth sores and adult oral ulcers that are difficult to heal over time. Chinese medicine believes that chestnuts can nourish the spleen and stomach, strengthen the kidney and muscles, and promote blood circulation and stop bleeding. It has a good effect on kidney deficiency, so it is also called "fruit of the kidney". It is especially suitable for the elderly with kidney deficiency and loose stools. Regular consumption can strengthen the body and heal the disease.

Ingredients

400g Chicken Thigh
200g Chestnut

5g Salt
6 pcs Rock Candy
1 tsp Soy Sauce
2 pcs Shiitake Mushrooms

Chestnut Roast Chicken

1. Peel the chestnuts in advance. I just peeled it with a knife, because the chestnut is not very dry, so it can be peeled easily.

2. Wash the chicken soup, add a proper amount of cooking wine and blanch the pot to remove the fishy smell. Cut into pieces, add ginger, salt, and starch and marinate for 10 minutes (if you want the muscles to be more flavorful, you can marinate for a longer time in advance)

3. Put oil in the pan and fry chestnuts.

4. Stir-fry the chestnuts for about a minute, then pour in the chicken and stir fry. After the chicken changes color, add soy sauce, cooking wine, and mushrooms to continue stir fry. Finally, add appropriate amount of hot water and simmer for 15 minutes.
