Easy One-pot Braised Soy Bean Paste Chicken

I learnt this easy one-pot dish from MediaCorp's Channel 8 variety show "What's In the Fridge - Ep 5" recently. This is another easy and fuss-free one-pot dish that I so love, and I'm sure many busy mothers will love as well.

This is one dish that goes well with a bowl of steaming hot rice, and has received good reviews and thumbs up from my family.

You have to try it to believe it.
