   How to make chicken with vegetables and potatoes in a cauldron? The recipe is quite simple. The dish will turn out quickly and without much effort. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use any parts of the chicken to taste - shins, thighs, breasts. You can also take half a chicken or one small chicken and cut it into portions. The vegetables and spices specified in the recipe can be replaced or supplemented to taste.
