Crab and Chicken Clay Pot

Step 1

Cut the 1 lb chicken thighs into 2-inch pieces and the 1 medium onion into wedges. Clean the 1 whole crab, remove the top shell, and cut the body into quarters.

Step 2

Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a clay pot or heavy pot over medium-high. Add the chicken and onion, and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the crab pieces, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 cup chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the crab is cooked through and the chicken is tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Uncover and simmer for 2-3 minutes more, until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve hot, straight from the pot.
