Chickens Stewed With Chestnuts

    Wonderful authentic Chinese comfort food, just like the chicken with chestnuts we enjoyed in a small restaurant in Shanghai. I was very pleased to see this recipe here. I did take a shortcut by using ready-roasted Chinese chestnuts. So it was easy as well as very good. I also used an approximately 1 by 3/4-inch piece of fresh ginger instead of young ginger. Other than the above, I followed the recipe strictly. Thank you for posting this Kitchen Maniac.
