Recipe(tried): Chicken Hash, Matchstick Veggies and Chocolate Pudding ...Friday's Dinner

Hello Everyone!

Last night we enjoyed a refreshing and delicious salad using rotisserie chicken from Publix.  I had a whole chicken minus a breast left over and thought of making a chicken salad with it.  DH does not like chicken salad as much as I do, thus the leftover chicken will be used for tonight's dinner.  

Using the same concept of Corned Beef Hash, Chicken Hash is made with leftover white and dark meat, cut-up potatoes, sauteed onion and garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, cream and parsley.  Such a simple dish but packed with flavor!  Add a melange of  sauteed matchstick-cut zucchini, yellow squash and carrot and some crusty French baguette and Viola! A meal fit for a King...and me the Queen!

For dessert I will serve South Beach Living sugar-free Milk Chocolate Truffle pudding, yummm! 

Enjoy!

CHICKEN HASH A LA GI'NA

leftover rotisserie chicken, white and dark meat
3 to 4 small red potatoes with skin on, boiled til tender & cooled, and diced
1/2 cup Vidalia onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 tsp. fresh minced rosemary
1/4 cup fresh minced parsley

Cut up the left-over chicken into large diced pieces.  You should have about 2 1/2-3 cups of meat.  Set aside.

Heat butter in a large saute pan over med heat and add diced onions and garlic.  Saute until limp and golden.  

Add the potatoes and mix well. Add the seasonings, blending well.  Let the potatoes get a golden color to them and then add the chicken mixing well.  Cook for another 5 minutes mixing well with a spatula.  

Add the cream and let that cook down a bit.  Make sure the hash is getting crusty and brown by patting down with the spatula.
