Recipe: Chicken and Potato Stew

I believe that most of us grew up eating our mother's version of the versatile chicken and potato stew. It's a delicious, comforting dish which is also super easy to prepare. In times like these (MCO), when you want to stretch your meat, potatoes are great as fillers and for bulking up the dish.

For my version of this popular stew, I like to first saute the potatoes in hot oil. Then, it will be braised along with garlic, onions, light and dark soy sauce before adding the chicken in. This will ensure that your chicken is not overcooked and stays tender. I hope this dish brings some comfort to you during these hard times and bring back good childhood memories. Enjoy!
