Delicious Three-Yellow Chicken with Fresh Tea Tree Mushrooms

Delicious Three-Yellow Chicken with Fresh Tea Tree Mushrooms
Pork prices have skyrocketed to 30, so I decided to buy some chicken at the market. The three-yellow chicken was 10 yuan per pound; I bought one for 26 yuan, cut it into pieces. Enough for two meals and much cheaper than pork. The kids are stir-frying the chicken with mushrooms; the fresh tea tree mushrooms are 10 yuan per pound, just enough for two meals. Perfect!

  10. It’s ready! The potatoes have mostly dissolved, the chicken is tender, and the aroma of mushrooms fills the house. There's enough for me and the two kids; we filled two large plates with chicken and about half a plate of fresh mushrooms and eggs. The chicken is all gone, and we still wanted more rice. I used the leftover chicken broth to make noodles for dinner, absolutely no waste.
