Yesterday, a program aired across Japan featuring a Disney fan introducing a popular TV personality to Tokyo Disney Resort. In tandem with the airing, Tokyo Disney Resort’s official blog released the recipe for this delectable chicken dinner, one of the options in the Blue Bayou Course prix fixe menu at the Blue Bayou Restaurant here at Tokyo Disneyland. If you want to make this delicious meal for yourself, you can follow the recipe below! We’ve converted the measurements to US measurements as well, for your convenience. Do note that these are approximations, and it is better to follow the metric units if possible.
