1. 1

   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.

   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.
