BRAISED MISO CHICKEN AND POTATOES

This is an easy and simple to prepare chicken with potato dish. Good to serve with rice and best of all this dish can be prepared way ahead of meal time. Before serving, just heat up the dish and it tasted better after resting.

We enjoyed this dish very much as it is really tasty.  Both the chicken and potatoes have absorbed the flavours well.
