Clay Pot Chicken Mushroom Stew. This delicious chicken and mushroom clay pot recipe are excellent for lunch or dinner for the whole family. It all comes perfectly together in a matter of minutes.
I was recently informed that I should provide more cuisine that can be served on a regular basis, such as those that are more common in the home.
The truth is, I cook and consume most of my meals at home with simple, ordinary ingredients. Most of the recipes I provide on my site are simple, daily foods that you’ll want to prepare again and again. Today, clay pot chicken with mushroom will be the main character.
I had no idea why it’s taken me so long to publish this fantastic recipe, but I’m going to bet that it has something to do with the fact that it doesn’t look particularly inviting.
In any case, I use my clay pot weekly during the winter, and it’s one of my favorite kitchen utensils, because cooking something in this pot is enough to make me crave it.
Chicken in a clay pot with mushrooms can be served in several ways. Try adding carrots, daikon, onion, or even Cantonese lap cheong (sausage) to liven up this simple dish. Nonetheless, the sauce is fantastic with a soft, fluffy steamed rice plate.

NOTE:
This meal is also delicious with bone-in chicken breasts (with skin on). You can use chicken leg quarters for this recipe. If you enjoy ginger, cut a 2-inch knob into a 2-inch piece. Follow the directions for treating your chicken with baking soda to achieve restaurant-quality results at home.
