The cooked dish is fragrant and colorful, including Chengcheng Huang chicken pieces and green vegetables, white tender bamboo shoots and gray-black mushrooms. It looks delicious, and now it has become a special dish in Suzhou, but the origin of this dish.

Speaking once, both Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong were drunk, and Yang Guifei was drunk and coquetry. I want to fly to the sky? . Tang Xuanzong thought that Yang Guifei wanted to eat? Fly to the sky? This dish, so I immediately ordered someone to cook it in the imperial kitchen? Fly to the sky? . The chefs don't even know about it? Fly to the sky? Such a dish, but if it is not cooked, it will be against the imperial edict and you will lose your life. What does a chef from Suzhou think? Fly to the sky? It is the implication that chickens should fly high, so they discussed with other chefs and chose fresh and tender broiler chickens as raw materials to cook. The chefs had no other ideas and agreed to it. They took the muscle of broiler chickens and cooked them with mushrooms, vegetables, tender bamboo shoots and green peppers to make a delicious dish.

when this way? Fly to the sky? When the lid was lifted in front of Yang Guifei, the whole room was full of fragrance. Yang Guifei quickly tasted a few mouthfuls of praise, and Tang Xuanzong also ate it, which was very delicious, so he asked: What is this dish? ? The eunuch around me said in a daze:? Is this what your majesty just ordered the kitchen to do? . After listening, Yang Guifei said: This Caicai dish is bright in color and tender and refreshing in meat. Why don't you call it Princess Chicken? ? Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty doted on Yang Guifei and naturally agreed. Since then, this imperial concubine chicken has often been cooked in the palace.

Later, when the Suzhou chef retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, he took this imperial concubine chicken with him, and the local people in Suzhou gradually became popular with this dish. After that, this dish was gradually spread and passed down in Suzhou.
