The weather is getting cooler, and the change of seasons makes you feel the chill attacking. At times like these, we need to keep our bodies warm through food and drink. However, many people only know how to feed pork to their children, and ignore other ingredients to keep them warm. Although pork is delicious, it has relatively low nutritional value. In contrast, chicken is a very good option. Not only is it highly nutritious, but it's also one of the longest eaten types of meat. Therefore, in the cold winter months, we may wish to give our children more chicken to provide them with more nutrients.
Chicken is very rich and varied, and can be stir-fried, stewed, or made into soup. Each recipe has a unique flavor and is very popular with children. In my house, we often stew a pot of delicious chicken, which is both delicious and nutritious. Every now and then, the children would ask for food, which showed that they really liked it. If you want to try it too, follow the steps below to stew a pot of delicious chicken!
1. Buy fresh chicken
First, we're going to choose fresh chicken. It is recommended to use chicks, that is, chicks of the year. Chicken has less fat and does not need to be stewed for too long, making it ideal for children. However, when buying chicken, we need to pay attention to choosing free-range chickens as much as possible and avoid buying farmed chickens. Free-range chicken is comparatively healthier and more nutritious.
2. Prepare the ingredients
In addition to chicken, you also need to prepare some other auxiliary ingredients, such as green onions, ginger, Sichuan pepper, millet spicy, shiitake mushrooms, and peanut oil. These ingredients add texture and flavor to the dish.
3. Stew chicken
First, chop the chicken into cubes, then cut the green onion into sections, the ginger into slices, the millet spicy into sections, and the peppercorns slightly grind. Next, pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, add a little green onion and ginger to blanch and set aside. Then, put an appropriate amount of peanut oil in another pot, add green onions, ginger slices, and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Next, pour the chicken pieces into the pan and stir-fry evenly, then add a little light soy sauce and continue to stir-fry evenly. Finally, pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water, add the soaked shiitake mushrooms, bring to a boil over high heat, and then change to low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Finally, add a pinch of salt, then add millet spicy to stir-fry well, and remove from the pan. The resulting chicken is both delicious and nutritious, and will be enjoyed by both children and adults.
Chicken and pork are common meat ingredients, and they both have their own unique taste and texture. However, in terms of nutritional content, chicken is superior to pork.

Moreover, the amino acid composition of chicken protein is closer to the needs of the human body and the utilization rate is higher. Therefore, it is more beneficial for health to reduce the intake of pork appropriately and eat more chicken.
