If you’re a reader here you know my love of Costco and their wonderful roasted chickens. Inexpensive, practical and versatile, these are wonderful to use as a base and create. Today I made a homemade French-inspired chicken salad served over a potato nest. I used Golden Grill Russet Hash browns, which are pre-packaged and to which you simply add hot water and cook – you may use your preferred brand.

  • 1 roasted chicken, meat shredded
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 red and green bell pepper each chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped small dice
  • 2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped cooursely
  • salt
  • white pepper
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

In a mixing bowl I shredded the chicken, added the mayonnaise, Grey Poupon, tarragon, chopped red and green bell peppers, red onion, salt and white pepper. Mix and incorporate completely.

In a frying pan I added the oil and placed individual hash brown patties to brown on each side. Remove from pand and drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper to taste.

With a ice cream scoop I molded the chicken salad and placed one portion on each crispy hash brown. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of smoked paprika.
