Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 3 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into small cubes. Chop the onion and bell pepper into similar-sized pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent them from burning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
- Next, add the diced cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and absorb the flavors of the vegetables.
- Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. You can also add any additional herbs or spices you prefer at this stage, such as paprika or garlic powder, for extra flavor.
- Once everything is heated through and well combined, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the chicken hash hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your Old Fashioned Chicken Hash!
Tips
- Use leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and convenience
- Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform small cubes to guarantee even cooking
- Don't rush the potato browning process—patience creates the perfect golden crispy texture
- Use a cast-iron skillet if possible for the best heat distribution and crispy results
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of chicken broth or a sprinkle of smoked paprika
- Let the hash rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld together
- Serve with a fried egg on top for an extra luxurious touch
