Tori No Mizutaki - Chicken Hot Pot
You can prepare this two ways, using a table top stove for making hot pot, or just boil everything in a pot. The first one is more fun, especially if you are having people over for dinner, plus there is less hassle since people can cook while chatting away, super fun. But, if you are having this for regular meal, then stove top is the way to go, though if you are up to it, cooking it at the table while the family gather around is kinda cool to do once in a while. ♥
The vegetables I use is just a suggestion, you can use whatever you like, you can even add tofu, and seafood like shrimps, squids, or fish. In short, be bold, experiment, and have fun. This is a good dish to use up all ingredients in your fridge that you have no idea how to finish them off, you know, like that half a carrot, or that quarter of cabbage head. :D
