Claypot Chicken Rice

We love this recipe for Claypot Chicken Rice. It's easy, tasty, and made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

How to Make This Dish:

1. Put the cornstarch, rice wine, sesame oil, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and whisk these ingredients together. Put the chicken in the bowl and cover it with the cornstarch mixture. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
