Capitol Chicken Hash




Source of Recipe


D'Agostino, NYC


Recipe Introduction


Power breakfasts in Washington D.C. are an important part of the political process. Vital political decisions are discussed informally, friendships are made, and tidbits about the social world of the city are exchanged. Chicken hash has always been popular for this morning meal; it was a favorite of President Andrew Jackson.



List of Ingredients




3 - 4 cups finely cubed cooked chicken


1 cup fresh chopped mushrooms (optional)


1 diced green onion


1 cup cream


2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley


Salt


Pepper to taste


Pinch of nutmeg


2 tablespoons butter


2 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon drippings





Recipe



Place first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix together. If you have some leftover chicken gravy, it may be used instead of cream. Melt butter and oil in a frying pan until hot, but not bubbling. Add the hash mixture. Cook 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover pan, and cook an additional 10 minutes. Flop out of the pan onto a warmed platter so the browned side is facing up.


Yield
Serves 4, and goes splendidly with bacon and poached eggs!
