Claypot chicken rice

Claypot chicken rice is a yummy dish made by cooking rice, vegetables, and chicken in a special clay pot.

The clay pot is like a big bowl made out of clay that is good at keeping things hot. It sits on top of a stove or fire and gets very hot, like when you put hot water in a cup and the cup gets hot too.

First, we take some rice and wash it in a bowl of water to get any dirt or dust off. Then we put the rice into the clay pot with some water, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Next, we add some cut up chicken and sliced vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, and broccoli on top of the rice.

We put the lid on the clay pot, turn up the heat, and let the food cook together for about 20-30 minutes.

When it’s done, we take off the lid and mix all the ingredients together. The dish is now ready to serve!

Because the clay pot is so good at keeping things hot, the rice, vegetables, and chicken all get cooked together and the flavors mix really well. Plus, the dish stays hot even after it’s done cooking, so you can enjoy it for a long time. It's like having a warm hug from your food!
