Creamy chicken in potato cheesy baskets #WeekdaySupper
So I am always trying to find ways to sneak vegetables in my meals as one of my daughter refuses to eat them. So this is a children’s favorite, potatoes and chicken! I grated my own potatoes but lots of brands sell already grated potatoes (Hash browns) in the freezer section. In this case I grated a pealed zucchini along with the potatoes, and then took out all the liquid.
Creamy chicken in potato cheesy baskets
Ingredients
- 2 potatoes grated (11/2 cup frozen hash browns)
- 1 zucchini pealed and grated
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 grated mozzarella or your favorite cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 skinless and boneless chicken breast diced
- 1 red pepper diced
- 1/2 cup of roasted corn kernels One ear or cob
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1/2 tablespoon of tarragon finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions finely chopped
- 1/2 cup of cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven at 350 F.
- Grate the potatoes and zucchini, add the egg, salt, pepper, olive oil and the cheese, mix until wel combined. Take a cupcake tin, grease it well, filled with the potatoes mixture making a well in the middle with the back of a teaspoon. Cook for 35 minutes.
- Put a large frying pan on a medium high flame, add the butter and olive oil, add the chicken and brown in all sides, add the garlic, tarragon and red pepper, let cook for 10 minutes.
- On the mean time, roast your corn on the BBQ, for 5 minutes, take off and Place an ear of corn, cut side down, on a cutting board, holding it near the top. Using a sharp knife, start at the top and cut downward with a gentle motion. Continue cutting until all of the corn is removed. Add the corn to the chicken, season well with slat and pepper. Add the cream, cook for 5 more minutes and you are done.
- Take out the baskets from the oven, take them off the mold. Fill with the chicken mixture. Garnish with the green onions, serve right away.
When I did this each of us had 4 baskets, I always serve these with some salad to keep the balance of the dish, I mix my favorite lettuces and throw in some crunch to them, (I love to have different textures on the plate) and vinaigrette! And we are good to go!
