  2. I have heard quite a bit about the benefits of cooking in clay pots. One of the main factor is the flavor. Yours do look delicious. This is also a reminder that I need to get more oven to table cookware-love the pots.

  3. You had me at the crust of melted cheese on top! And for some reason I love serving things in mini dishes. makes it so much more fun somehow!

  4. What a great family meal. I love the individual pots and how the person with the ‘special’ pieces of meat has his personally identified. I must get to an Asian supermarket and buy some of these pots. I’ve heard they cook food very well.

  5. What a great way to cook chicken! I’ve never cooked in a clay pot but it looks like fun and the result looks delicious. Love your recipe!

  6. Melanie, love your little clay pots, so cute…and great idea making them as individual serving. Sounds and looks delicious…especially in this cold weather.
