Ingredients

  • 2½ to 4 pound
  • onion
    chopped
    1 medium
  • diced
    cooked potatoes (fresh or leftover)
    2 to 4 cups
  • carrots
    drained
    1 can
  • of gravy (or enough to make hash moist)
    3 cups

Method

1
Cook the chicken in a large pot of boiling water until fully cooked through, about 25-30 minutes. Remove chicken and let cool slightly, then shred or dice the meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding skin and bones.
2
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the diced cooked potatoes and drained canned carrots to the skillet with the onion. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes.
4
Pour in the gravy and stir until the mixture is well combined and moist. Add the shredded chicken and mix gently to incorporate.
5
Cook the hash over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until heated through and the flavors have blended. The mixture should be moist but not soupy.
6
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot in bowls or plates.
