The origin of pork belly chicken is said to have occurred in the Qing Dynasty when Concubine Yifei had just given birth to the prince. Because Concubine Yifei had stomach problems and was weak after childbirth, Emperor Qianlong ordered the imperial kitchen to stew supplements for Concubine Yifei to eat. However, she had no appetite for anything and her body gradually became thinner.

, the imperial doctors in the palace tried their best to send various expensive supplements to Concubine Yi, but to no avail.

Qianlong was anxious, and then summoned the imperial doctor and the imperial kitchen to pass on the imperial edict. No matter what method was used, Yi Fei's illness must be cured. The imperial kitchen thought of "medicine supplements are not as good as food supplements".

So the traditional folk idea of ??eating chicken soup during confinement was improved, and the chicken was put into the pig's belly and added with precious medicinal materials to make the soup. After eating it, Yifei's appetite really increased. After a period of dietary conditioning, Yifei's stomach problems were cured.

And the skin color becomes more and more rosy and shiny, making her beautiful and beautiful.

Qianlong was overjoyed and called this dish Braised Chicken with Pepper Pork Belly. Since then, it has been widely spread among the people and evolved into the current Pork Belly Chicken.
