Chicken with Onion Carrot Cream sauce

Chicken with Onion Carrot Cream sauce is a dish with a unique SIMPLE technique that will make this dish so uniquely flavorful!

This dish is one of those dishes….

that is so good that every “mom” kept passing the recipe around until everyone was making the same dish.  There is a secret to the way the sauce is made that adds an additional layer of flavor that’s hard to pinpoint when eating it.  It just tastes good but no one will know what.

There is a trick to creating this added layer of flavor but it might in turn create more dishes, which is obviously annoying, but there is a way around that.  The secret is…. I kind of think I can drag this out a little longer.  How mean of me.  Ok, so the secret is to boil each of the three ingredients separately, then take the reserved water and mix that with the remaining ingredients.  The reserved water is full of flavor and when combined with everything else it will create a something unique.  This is usually served with rice.

Recipe Notes

• if you don't want too many dishes or if you don't have 3 separate pots, you can boil one item at a time and then use the same pot.  It will take a little longer while cooking because you have to wait for each item to boil but will save time doing the dishes!
