Cozy up with these comforting chicken recipes — simple dishes that warm the heart.
The refrigerator was filled with lychees fed by neighbors, friends, and colleagues one after another, and I instantly remembered the lychee chicken soup I made before! I always thought that the price of lychees was "arrogant", and every time I made this soup, it was like a "luxury experience", and I was still not satisfied after making it. This year, the price of lychees is affordable, and with everyone's enthusiastic feeding, I can finally turn over this favorite again! ~~ Remove the pits and take out the meat of the lychees, put them into the pot with fresh chicken and pitted red dates, and add Ophiopogon japonicus and Polygonatum odoratum to neutralize the warm nature. Even I, who am afraid of getting angry, can drink it with confidence! The fruity and meaty aromas slowly seep out, and the soup is sweet and mellow, and it still tastes like the fairy in my memory! After drinking the soup and eating the meat, I have to say that this wave of feeding is simply a "god assist". This time I can finally drink enough and make up for all the "drinks" I didn't "drink enough" in the past~

This "Chicken Thigh Rice" marinates boneless chicken thighs with scallion, ginger, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar and a little oil, then puts them into a pot with washed rice, adds water to cover the rice, and cooks them in one click.

The chicken is tender and juicy; the fragrance of scallion and ginger is looming in the heat, adding layers. The whole thing is done in one pot, saving time and effort, and full of homely flavor, but you need to reserve about half an hour for marinating, and the ratio of water and marinade must be properly controlled to avoid the rice being too wet or the chicken being too salty/slightly dry.

“Soak chicken” is actually a slow-cooking method—using warm water to gently cook the chicken, reducing protein loss and preventing moisture from being drawn out, resulting in a more tender, silky texture. Additionally, to enhance the flavor, this time we’ve added pork ribs to the poaching. The perfect accompaniment to white-cut chicken is, of course, minced ginger, which we’ll share in another recipe.
