Modern Takes on Chicken Hash

Basil Chicken Hash (Ina Garten's Adaptation) Ina Garten offers a lighter, more herbaceous version of Chicken Hash, incorporating fresh basil, bell peppers, and a medley of spices.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts bone-in, skin removed
  • 5 stalks of fresh basil leaves
  • 1 small boiling potato peeled and diced
  • 1 red onion quartered
  • 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • Fresh parsley and scallions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Roast the Chicken: Lay basil leaves under and over the chicken breasts, drizzle with olive oil, and roast at 350°F for 35–40 minutes.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté potatoes and onions until browned. Add peppers, garlic, thyme, paprika, and tomato paste.
  • Combine and Finish: Add the diced chicken and a splash of stock, then bake in the oven for 10–15 minutes.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with parsley and scallions.

Notes

This variation, while simpler, brings a fresh, slightly Mediterranean twist to the classic dish.
