WID Cooks: Easy Chicken Pot Roast Recipe

I have a long list of chicken recipes collected over the years. Although I don't follow or read them anymore, still it brings back the memories when I was still a newbie in the kitchen. My love in the kitchen grow bigger to the point I dreamed of having my own cooking show, lol. Some of my favorite dishes are chicken tinola, afritada, ginataan manok with malunggay and the famous chicken adobo. Whatever dish to cook, I prefer Magnolia Chicken.

There's always a Magnolia Chicken Station in any supermarket. You will find the chicken part you need - whole chicken, chicken pieces consisting of two breast halves, thighs, wings, drumsticks. They are always fresh with skin creamy white to deep yellow.

Celebrating my 30+ birthday at home

Last Sunday was my birthday and so I decided to cook something special - Easy Chicken Pot Roast and Pansit. I was inspired by the dish Chef Llena Tan Arsenas prepared in her show, Home Foodie. It's a mouth-watering and easy to prepare 'madalicious' chicken recipe.

With chicken pot roast, it only took me an hour from preparation to cooking. I swear it tastes really good. I recommend you try it at home, your family will be surprise. My brother who visited me and tried this chicken dish said it tastes like restaurant food.

The Secret to a delicious Chicken Pot Roast

I received more than two-thumbs and a kiss from hubby. My brother even asked for the recipe. I guess the secret to a delicious Chicken Pot Roast are the fresh and natural-ingredients such as dried rosemary and calamansi and of course, the main ingredient which is Magnolia Chicken. I also use organic potatoes and carrots. Make sure you have enough rice as well.

If you have a bigger pot, cook a whole chicken instead. Let your guests do the slicing to get the chicken part they want. I hope you will try this delicious and easy-to-prepare Chicken Pot Roast. You'll never go wrong with Magnolia Chicken.
