What is Sauced chicken on a vegetable bed?
Sauced chicken on a vegetable bed pairs chicken with vegetables and a savoury sauce, cooked together or arranged as a base for the chicken. It is a flexible home-style main rather than a dish tied to one particular cuisine: the vegetables and sauce can vary with the recipe.
