The mother-in-law came back from her hometown and brought a chicken she raised. She opened the bag and took a look. Good fellow, such a big one! It takes a few meals! My mother-in-law’s house is in the countryside, and there is a large yard. The chickens we raise are sloping around in the yard. They eat all kinds of whole grains. My mother-in-law often sprinkles corn and other food for him. The chickens are big and strong. The cooked dishes are also more delicious than ordinary chickens, and those chickens that have grown up on hormone feeds cannot be compared. If you want to say that local chickens are becoming more and more expensive now, the cost of raising them is also high! Those grains are not cheap to buy!
There are avian flu in many places, and live chickens are basically not allowed to sell. I haven't bought live chickens that are killed for a while. It’s a blessing to be able to eat this chicken raised by my mother-in-law today. I brought it thousands of miles away!
It just so happens that the wild hazel mushrooms sent by a friend at home have not finished eating. The chickens raised in this family and wild mushrooms are a perfect match. Can they be called "mountain game" together? ! Hazel mushrooms can bring out the fresh fragrance of chicken very well. During the production process, I smelled the fragrance in the kitchen and it was so greedy! Chicken stewed with mushrooms is also a famous dish, and it is also a very well-made home-cooked dish. Because the preparation is relatively simple, many farmhouses in many places also have this dish, and the price is not low. Once we went to I was playing in the mountains and ordered a chicken stewed with mushrooms. It was served in pots. There was not much chicken and a lot of side dishes. It was spicy, especially for dinner, but it was not cheap. A portion was 120 yuan! It is said that some places are more expensive! It is more economical to make it at home!
The cooked chicken stewed with mushrooms is particularly fragrant, and the taste of the chicken is also very good. Because I have children at home, I don’t put too many seasonings. I personally feel that as long as the chicken and mushrooms taste good and fresh enough, the types of seasonings It can be more or less, the chicken stew with mushrooms made in this way is delicious enough! Please read down for specific methods.

Ingredients

1000g Chicken
100g Hazel Mushroom (dried)
1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
1 tsp Salt
3 capsules Aniseed
2 Dried Red Chili
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce

Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms

1. I chopped the whole chicken into small pieces. I chopped the chicken into half a pot. It only took one third. The rest was divided into two fresh-keeping bags and put in the refrigerator. I will eat it next time;

2. Put water in the pot, put the chicken in the pot, boil under cold water, and remove the blood foam;

3. Boil for 2 minutes after the water is boiled, skim off the blood foam, remove it while the water is boiling, so that the chicken will not be stained with blood foam, remove and drain for later use;

4. Heat up the wok, add cooking oil, add some dried red pepper and aniseed when the oil is warm, and stir-fry until fragrant;

5. Put the cooked chicken in and stir fry on high heat;

6. Put some light soy sauce and stir fry, add a little color, add hot water, and submerge the chicken pieces. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover the pot and simmer over medium heat. My chicken is a one-year-old broiler, which is relatively well cooked. If it is a poorly cooked chai chicken, you can add more water and simmer for a while;

7. Prepare mushrooms at this time. I used dried mushrooms, which were given by my friend. They are relatively small, but they are quite delicious. Wash it several times in clean water to remove impurities;

8. The washed mushrooms are squeezed out of water and set aside for later use;

9. When the chicken has been cooked for about 40 minutes, put the mushrooms in, add some salt, and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes;

10. For a total of about an hour, the chicken was soft and rotten, very tasty, and the soup was almost collected. Open the lid to collect the juice. You can also put two rock sugars to taste, or leave it alone. Then you can put it out of the pot. ；

11. Such a big bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms, if you go to a restaurant to eat, it is estimated that it will cost about 100 yuan! I think I can open a farmhouse! It’s not bad to raise chicken breeds and order food at home, and it’s good to make a small yard to cook some food. It's a pity that our hometown is not a scenic spot and there are no places of interest, otherwise my idea can really come true! Now I can only cook for my family at home honestly!

12. Many mushrooms can be used to make this dish, such as shiitake mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, and hazel mushrooms. I personally like hazel mushrooms stewed chicken. It is best to choose free-range chicken at home. The meat is good and tastes good, and it is relatively nutritious. Be richer, and those chickens that grow up on the feed are not good to make. If we go back to our hometown, my mother will also go to meet the chicken farmers who raised free-range chickens for us to make this dish for us. If there is a pot, it will be more delicious.

Tips:
It is best to make chicken stewed mushrooms with a thick iron pan, which is resistant to stir-frying and long-lasting stew, suitable for stews!
