Chicken Hash

6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
4 chicken thighs
10 bacon strips, cooked
3 small carrots, diced small
2 celery stalks, diced small
1 shallot, diced small
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 roasted red pepper, diced
1/2 roasted yellow pepper, diced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 large bunch parsley, minced
Salt & pepper
4 tbsp oil

In a 400 degree oven, roast the chicken thighs on a sheet pan until cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Shred the chicken and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Add in the carrot, celery and shallot. Season with salt & pepper. Cook until vegetables are just tender, about 7 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute. Add in the shredded potatoes and fry until potatoes have softened, and start to get crispy. Add in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
Once potatoes are cooked, add back the shredded chicken, the roasted peppers, and parsley. Cook for another minute or two to heat the chicken back up. Chop up the bacon and add it to the pan. Season with more salt & pepper.
Top with more parsley and serve hot.

*This is a dish that doesn't look very appetizing, but is so tasty, you won't even care. I came up with this dish when I had a bunch of potatoes that I didn't know what to do with, and I was tired of making the same old mashed potatoes. I looked around the kitchen and just gathered up ingredients that I know work well together and basically threw them all in a pan and cooked it! Instead of oil, I actually had some bacon fat in the fridge that I used. Yum. This dish is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. It's loaded with veggies, but they won't even know because it's such a yummy dish. And really, when you're talking about hash, you can make it with anything you like. Potatoes are the most essential ingredient, so play around with what you like and make up your own hash! And the best part, if you have any leftovers, combine them with eggs the next day to make a delicious omelet!

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. Isaiah 40:28
