Chef's Note & Story

Use a pan with a good lid and this same recipe can also be prepared in a claypot for that added claypot fragrance. If white rice is used, the rice can be transferred to a rice cooker for simmering after the addition of water. However, the amount of liquid used should be reduced to 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon. The almost cooked chicken can be added when the rice cooker has jumped to the warming setting.
