Upstate cooking lab is in full swing. Today's afternoon session was a nice Martha Stewart brunch option:
Recipe
1/2 a chicken breast, cut into 3/4" cubes
12 oz small red potatoes, boiled and quartered
2 ears-worth corn kernels
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, minced
4 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 c chicken (or veggie) stock
salt, pepper, evoo
Step zero is to get your potatoes boiling... Heat a skillet up high. The first thing in is your chicken; brown for a few minutes, then set aside. Add a few tsps oil, then the potatoes go in until golden-brown, a few minutes, then set aside. Add another tsp oil, then the corn, scallion, and jalapeno, just a couple minutes until the corn is dark brown in spots. Next, add the tomatoes and cook a minute or so. Then add the stock and chicken, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, and you're ready to go.
Notes
Martha's hash is a little upscale - you don't just plop things into a skillet one-by-one (or all at once) - you'll have some extra bowls to clean. That said, this was a really nice one. Everything browns up nicely to appropriate degrees... I didn't follow the measurements too closely, eyeballing the amounts for pretty much everything. Didn't effect the final product. Fresh corn is a great element (I'm less of a tomato fan, but realize that's just me). When I added the stock, whoosh it boiled almost immediately, but kept things from drying out too much. All in all, Martha knows what she's doing.
