Barefoot Contessa Chicken Hash Food

SAVORY CHICKEN HASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot or water to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 12 to 14 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. Add the onions, bell peppers and garlic and saute for a few minutes. Add the cayenne, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and oregano. Stir in the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until chicken is warmed through. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in the chicken stock to add some moisture, along with the parsley and lemon juice. Allow to simmer for a few minutes. Add the cooked potatoes and put into the oven until the potatoes are crunchy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts until they are 1/4 inch thick--you can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate.
• In a bowl (big enough to dip the chicken), break the 2 eggs and whisk them together.
• On a second plate, combine the bread crumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
• Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
• Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts.
• Serve with extra grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

CHICKEN HASH

Steps:

• Melt butter and olive oil together in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes, chicken, onion, green bell pepper, chicken broth, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and seasoned salt in the hot butter-oil mixture until chicken is no longer pink in the center and liquid is evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Add more olive oil if mixture becomes dry.
• Stir broccolini and Cheddar cheese into chicken hash; cook until broccolini are tender and Cheddar cheese is melted, 2 to 3 more minutes.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S CHICKEN PICCATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 and line sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment paper and pound to 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
• Mix the flour, 1 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in shallow plate. In a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 Tbls. water. Place the breadcrumbs on a third plate.
• Dip each breast first in the flour, shake off the excess and then dip in egg and then bread crumb mixture.
• Heat 2 Tbls. olive oil in large saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Place them on lined pan and place in oven while you cook the rest of the chicken. Heat more olive oil in saute pan and cook the second 2 chicken breasts. Place them on the same lined pan and place in oven for 5-10 minutes while you make the sauce.
• For the sauce, wipe out the saute pan with a dry paper towel. On medium heat, melt 1 Tbls. of the butter and then add the lemon juice, white wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.
• Boil sauce over high heat until reduced by half which will be about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 Tbls. butter and swirl to combine. Discard the lemon halves. Serve one chicken breast on each plate and spoon on the sauce with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

CHICKEN HASH

Steps:

• Place the potato in a small saucepan, and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add a large pinch of salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook just until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Add potato, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the chicken, chicken stock, and cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until dry and caramelized, about 10 minutes more.
• Divide hash and tomatoes between two plates. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN HASH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients. Sauté the onion, potatoes and green pepper over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes begin to soften.
• Stir in the chicken, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients, and reduce the heat. Cook until the milk has been absorbed and a crust has formed on the bottom of the hash. Turn and cook until the second side is browned.
