Chicken and mushrooms clay pot rice

This is an easy one-por dish with marinated chicken and mushrooms layered over rice and gently cooked together. I used my baby pressure cooker in lieu of the clay pot.

The only mushrooms I had today were dried shiitake so I used more than I otherwise might have.

Two chicken thighs, deboned and cut up, but I kept the bones in the mix as well. Marinated for about an hour with the seasonings, onion, and scallions while the mushrooms rehydrated. Then I added the sliced-up mushrooms and a bit of cornstarch and layered it over the rice.

Cooking liquid for the rice was the mushroom soaking liquid with some chicken bouillon.

I decided to use a mix of sushi rice and quinoa today because I’m trying to use up both.

This was very comforting, as it usually is, but a bit different than previous versions given the components varied, as they also always do.
