Crock Pot Herbal Chicken

I always tell my mother that I am very busy and there is hardly any time to be wasted on food. However, eating the same packed food and food from hawkers is so tiring too. She told me that cooking is not difficult. She always asked me to use the crock pot or slow cooker to cook. She even buy a slow-cooker for me.



Recently, I told my mother that I feel lethargic easily. She gave me this packet of chinese herbal called "Chong Cao Pao Shen Ji Tang" for cooking with chicken or pork or any meat. The ingredients consists of American Ginseng, Godonopsis Pilosula, Polygonathum, Chinese Yam, Astragalta, Cordyceps, Wolfberry fruit and some special recipe which are all packed in a small bag.



My mother had already got ready for me. All I have to do is to unpack, wash and cook. How thoughtful of her. That is real love from real mother, nobody can replace our mother's love for us, and no one would care more than our mother. My mother is equally busy at her own workplace, with her own work. Yet she manage to squeeze her time, do so much for me.

She de-skin all the chicken drumsticks. She gave me four drumsticks, one for each member of the family. After washing the chicken drumstick, I put them into the slow-cooker. I unpacked the herbal chicken soup and put all the ingredients into the slow-cooker as shown below.



You can see the bright red wolfberries and the worm-like cordyceps. I hate to see the sight of it. But they are good food. That is everything I need to do for cooking this Crock Pot Herbal Chicken. After putting on the cover or lid for the pot, I switched on the power of the slow-cooker. I left it on I head towards my daily tasks. At two hours, I could smell the fragrance of the chicken herbal soup. At three to four hours, the chicken was so tender and the soup tasted so tasty. The longer you cooked, the softer or tender the chicken is. However, extremely long time will cause the chicken to lose its sweetness.

I just discovered that I had forgotten to take a picture of the final product. The cooked chicken. I had cooked this two weeks ago, after I had just finished tuition with Valerie. The next time I cook this dish again, I am going to remember to take a snapshot of it. This is one of the Crock Pot Dish I had cooked. I cooked other Crock Pot food as well.
