chicken mushroom stew (or chicken a king ala ver.2)

 

I’ve been thinking of making a breaded chicken roll, but alas, the freezer didn’t give me chicken breast fillets. Instead it hurled my way a pack of cut-up chicken pieces. And you know what they say about life throwing you frozen chicken…… duck!!!! XD Anyway, since what I had was chicken pieces, I decided to make a stew that is based on chicken ala king. Anyway, enough babbling and on with the recipe! Continue Reading

taste asia party @ SM hypermart

where there’s food, i follow! braving rain and traffic <(not really! we took the mrt) , my friend nina and i took the long commute to the taste asia blogger’s party @ the sm mall of asia.

Momma Mia’s Callos
