Claypot Swiss Chicken and Mushrooms

Ingredients:

1 1/2 kg chicken thigh pieces

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon marjoram

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

6 green onion, chopped

500 g mushroom, sliced

1/4 cup white wine

500 ml sour cream

125 g swiss cheese, grated

Cooking Instructions:

Presoak pot, top and bottom, in water for at least 15 minutes. Shake chicken pieces in bag containing the flour, oregano, paprika, marjoram and garlic salt. Keep the remaining flour mixture. Brown the chicken pieces in a frying pan, quickly, with the olive oil. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Place the browned chicken in the claypot, add the chopped green onions and the sliced mushrooms to the claypot. To the chicken drippings in the frying pan add the rest of the flour mixture to cook out slightly. Once cooked add the white wine and sour cream until sour cream has just melted and mixed through. Pour this whole mixture over the chicken. Spread the grated swiss cheese over the chicken and place the covered pot in a cold oven. Set the temperature to 250C or 480F and cook for approximately 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked to your liking checking after 30-35 minutes. I like to drain any oil accumulated from the chicken, sour cream and cheese and to do this I blot with paper towels.
