【Chestnut Lotus Chicken】- A Nourishing and Delicious New Year’s Dish Detailed Cooking Steps

Prepare the chicken breast, onion slices, and fresh peas, and wash them.

Make a cut on the back of the chestnuts and boil them in water until cooked.

Peel the cooked chestnuts, add a little chicken broth, a little salt, and blend them into a chestnut puree with a food processor (for better operation, you can refrigerate it in the refrigerator for a while).

Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and blend them into chicken puree with a food processor.

Add egg white, salt, pepper powder, and a little scallion-ginger water.

Stir in the same direction until the mixture is well combined.

Spread a thin layer of oil on a spoon, fill it with the chicken mixture, and smooth the surface.

Add an appropriate amount of chestnut puree.

Then cover with chicken puree and smooth the surface.

Repeat the above steps and fill a round container (I used an egg tart mold) with chicken and chestnut puree, and then decorate it with peas to make it look like a lotus flower.

Steam for about 5 minutes until cooked.

After steaming, remove the spoon, place it on a plate, and arrange it nicely.

Add an appropriate amount of fresh chicken broth to the pot, add a few grains of salt and water starch to thicken the sauce, and drizzle a little sesame oil before serving.

Pour the sauce evenly over the steamed chestnut chicken.

Decorate the dish with onion petals and some small red pepper slices on the edge of the plate to enhance the color.
