Ultimate Chicken Hash Food

BASIL CHICKEN HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving one side attached. Place 4 basil leaves under the skin of each chicken breast. Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won't dry out. With your hands, rub each piece with olive oil and sprinkle very generously with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones. Cut the chicken in large dice pieces and set aside.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan. Add the potatoes and onions, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until evenly browned and cooked through.
• In a separate saute pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the red peppers, garlic, thyme, paprika, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the edges of the peppers are seared.
• Add the chicken and the pepper mixture to the potatoes and heat through. Add the scallions and parsley, toss together and place on a serving platter.
• Serve with sour cream, Cheddar and sliced lemons.

BREAKFAST HASH

Steps:

• Line a plate with a paper towel and set aside. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the bacon to the lined plate with a slotted spoon or spatula.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of grease from the skillet, reserving the remaining grease. Fry the eggs in the bacon fat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover with a paper towel to keep warm.
• Add 1 more tablespoon bacon grease and turn up the heat to high. Add the sweet potatoes, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, onion, garlic and some salt and pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup of water, then put the lid on and steam for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place fried eggs on top of hash and sprinkle over the bacon, diced tomatoes, goat cheese, parsley and basil.

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.

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.

THE ULTIMATE ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken with cool water, inside and out. Pat it dry with paper towels. Divide the herbs, keeping 1/2 of them whole. Finely chop the other half. In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with the chopped herbs, until combined. Rub the herbed butter under the skin, as well as all over the outside of the chicken. Season the bird all over with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the orange, garlic, 1 onion, and the remaining herbs. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine to help hold its shape. Place the chicken, breast-side up, in a roasting pan. Put the remaining onion into the pan, which will help color and flavor the sauce. Lay the strips of bacon across the breast of the chicken and roast for 25 minutes.
• Remove the bacon and baste the chicken with the drippings and cook for another 25 minutes to brown the skin. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (the legs of the chicken should wiggle easily from the sockets too.) Remove the chicken to a platter and let stand for 10 minutes, so the juices settle back into the meat before carving.
• Meanwhile, remove the softened onion from the roasting pan. Tilt the pan so the drippings collect in 1 corner, skimming off as much fat as possible, and leaving the drippings. Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat and take a wooden spoon to scrape up the flavor from the bottom of the pan. Stir the flour into the drippings to make a roux-like paste. Pour in the chicken broth in stages; continue to stir to dissolve the flour evenly to prevent lumps. Stir in the sherry and season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, carve the chicken tableside and squeeze the oranges from the cavity over the meat.
• Difficulty: Easy
• Serving suggestion: roast potatoes, watercress and gravy.

• In same saute pan, reduce mixture until thick. Remove mixture from the pan, add the remaining 2 ounces oil and potatoes and fry potatoes until crispy. Add onion and pepper mixture and shredded chicken. Press mixture together as it cooks and form into 1/2-inch cake. Flip over to brown both sides.
