chikuzenni; simmered chicken and vegetables
A traditional Japanese dish from the Chikuzen region (now part of Fukuoka). Typically includes chicken, taro, carrot, burdock, lotus root, and konnyaku, simmered in a soy-based broth. Often served in Osechi (New Year's cuisine) or as a home-style side dish.
I made chikuzenni for the New Year's dishes.
Chikuzenni is full of root vegetables and has a good nutritional balance.
おせち料理 is the broader category of traditional New Year's foods; 筑前煮 is one of the dishes commonly included.
Named after the former Chikuzen Province (筑前国), now part of Fukuoka Prefecture, where the dish originated. The name literally means 'Chikuzen simmered dish'.
