Steamed chicken with red dates and astragalus root

Overview

When steaming chicken, the flavor of Chinese herbal medicine is much stronger than that of soup. The chicken contains the fragrance of astragalus and the sweet fragrance of red dates, which smells very good. The combination of these ingredients is often used to replenish qi and blood. As middle-aged and elderly people get older and their qi and blood are gradually depleted, this dish is very suitable for tonic.
