Day 159 : Drunken Chicken

DRUNKEN CHICKEN

This evening, we're gonna prepare a simple one pan chicken dish. Having tasted what brandy could do for flavouring in last night's steam fish, I insisted that we added a little bit of the X.O. to this chicken dish as well. Gee, I hope I'm not turning into an alcoholic! :D 

Nah, no chance of that. Bryan did assure that the alcohol will evaporate during the simmering anyway. 

 

3 Simple Steps :

1. Saute garlic, onions and ginger.

2. Add in chicken and the rest.

3. Add broccoli.


The Ingredients.

Chicken, carrots, potatoes and broccoli.

 1. Saute garlic, onions and garlic 
in sesame seed oil.

2. Add In.
Add chicken.

Add potatoes. Add carrots. 
Add dried chillies (pre-soaked in hot water).
Add filtered water. 
Add sauce : oyster sauce and shoyu.

Add brandy (one soup-spoon).
Close lid and allow to simmer until gravy thickens
and contents are cooked.

3. Add Broccoli.
When the contents are about cooked, toss in broccoli.
Close lid for a minute or so, before transferring 
the contents to a serving dish.


Say Hello to your one pot chicken potato dish!

Hmmm, I wonder if this is how Drunken Chicken got its name. :D

Okay, I'm re-naming this dish. I had called it Braised Chicken with Brandy at first, 
but hey, Drunken Chicken sure sounds a lot more exciting ... :D

Side Condiment of chopped raw garlic, 
chopped chillies (de-seeded) with dark sauce.

Bryan's Plate.
He says, dinner is fantabulous! 
A very unique exotic flavour!

Ooh, we are really enjoying our dinner. 
The potatoes just melt in your mouth, the chicken is tender, 
and the gravy is simply drunken-delicious.


I had my one shake of The Green Drink in the morning, 
yong tau foo with noodles for lunch and the above for dinner.
