Jjim Dak (Braised Chicken with Vegetables)

Chicken, potatoes and carrots are the perfect combination in one dish! :)
What would you cook if you are craving for some noodles but your husband or other family members want to eat rice?  Hmm, well...here is a dish where you might be able to please everyone~ ^^
Add some glass noodles in this dish and here you go, a dish that satisfy everyone's stomach!

I feel that this is a non-spicy version of Daktoritang (Korean spicy braised chicken). The main ingredients in making this dish are identical but the difference is in the sauce.
