Chicken Hash

imageThis is similar to other hash recipes on this blog but it starts with raw chicken cut into bite sized cubes. The secret is cooking at a high heat and cutting everything in the dish to approximately the same size. If you love peppers (green, red, hot) add them to this dish. It is a great brunch dish but also just as good at dinner. Who doesn’t like breakfast for dinner every once in a while. Sprinkle some hot sauce on the eggs before serving.

Put roasting pan in oven set the timer for ten minutes. When timer goes off stir the hash. Set timer for another ten minutes. When timer goes off stir hash. At this time crack the eggs over the top of the hash. Salt and pepper. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes depending on how runny you like your yolk. Make sure the whites are cooked thoroughly and opaque. When eggs are finished to your liking remove and serve. Sprinkle on hot sauce to taste.

Week 42 – Menus and Shopping List

This week I found that I had an extra chicken breast left over from a pack of three. Rather than freeze it I’ve been wanting to have chicken hash. Sometimes breakfast for dinner makes for a relaxing meal. It’s similar to the other hash meals but I start with a raw chicken breast rather than cooked chicken. The secret is to cut the chicken into bite size cubes for faster cooking time. Also I found a great buy on pork tenderloin. I like to stock up on them when I do because they freeze well and cook in 30 minutes
