Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon butter
½ cup bell pepper orange or red, chopped
1 small onion chopped
2 jalapeños stemmed and minced, veins and seeds removed
1 clove garlic minced
½ teaspoon thyme fresh, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 medium potato baked and then cubed
1 cup chicken cooked, white and dark meat, and chopped
2 large eggs

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium high heat. When the skillet is hot add butter and olive oil.
Once the oil and butter are hot and bubbles subside from the sizzling butter, add the bell pepper, onion, jalapeños, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium high heat, until soft and just starting to brown, about 7 minutes. Add chopped garlic and stir until fragrant.
Stir in the cooked potato and cooked chicken and continue to cook until just starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
In a separate skillet, cook your eggs. We like them over easy so I carefully crack the eggs into melted butter and cook until whites are starting to set up, then cover until yolks are cooked just right.
Plate the hash, top with an egg and shake on your favorite hot sauce.

Tips for Success

Practice you knife skills and chop the chicken, potatoes and peppers in similar sized pieces. Not only will give you pride in skill set, but even pieces will result in better textures and even flavor.

If you feel Jalapeno peppers are simply too spicy, a good substitution is a poblano pepper.
