Braised chicken with gravy
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For some reason, I've always only stewed chicken breasts, baked the legs in the oven, and fried the thighs. But once, as a guest, I tried stewed chicken with sauce. Honestly, I really liked this dish. I immediately wrote down the recipe for stewed chicken with sauce, and on my way home bought a whole chicken. I quickly and easily prepared a delicious and hearty dinner. Juicy and aromatic stewed chicken with sauce makes a perfect lunch or dinner. Now you know it too. The ready dish can be served at the table.
