Salmon with Lentils

Roasted chicken with mushrooms is such a comfort food for me. Cooking it in a claypot makes for a fantastic flavor and moist, tender chicken.
Directions for: Claypot Roasted Chicken with Mushrooms

Ingredients

225 g (1 cup) long grain rice, such as jasmine or basmati

250 mL (1 cup) chicken stock

10 g (1 1/2 Tbsp) peeled and finely julienned fresh ginger

2 green onions, sliced

1 kg (2.2 lbs) fresh chicken, cut into large pieces (bone-in)

45 mL (3 Tbs) soy sauce

15 g (1 Tbsp) granulated sugar

15 mL (1 Tbsp) oyster sauce

10 mL (2 tsp) sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Black pepper

15 g (1 Tbsp) butter

225 g (1/2 lb) gourmet fresh mushrooms, sliced

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 190C (375F). If using a claypot, soak it in water for an hour before using.

2. Stir the rice, stock, ginger and green onion in the claypot. Top this with the chicken pieces in an even layer.

3. Whisk the soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic and black pepper together and set aside. Heat a saut pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Add the mushrooms and saut until they are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Spoon the mushrooms and the liquid over the chicken. Cover the claypot and bake for 60-75 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
