Chic-tatoe Flamb'e

Ingredients:

3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves cut to cubes
3 medium sized baked or boiled potatoes cut to cubes
1 medium white onion julienned
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary spice
1/4 teaspoon dried savory spice
1/2 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup Madeira wine
1/2 teaspoon coarsely chopped black pepper corns
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12-14 inch non-stick frying pan

Put olive oil in the frying pan and heat on medium flame for approximately 2 minutes. Add chicken, garlic, rosemary, butter, savory, celery salt, pepper, salt, and onion. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until chicken turns white. Add Madeira wine and flamb'e using either a match or by tilting the pan slowly towards the flame. After the flame has gone out, continue cooking to reduce fluids by 2/3 rds, or another 3 - 4 minutes. At this point, add potatoes and mix well. Continue cooking till potatoes, chicken, and onions have a lovely caramel coloring too them. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with parsley then serve. A good side dish to this would be steamed brocolli rabe. This meal takes about ten minutes to cook, if using left over potatoes. Longer if potatoes must be pre-cooked.

Variations: I think this dish would also go well by adding green bell peppers in place of the onions, or even adding them in with the onions. I really don't see how any variation of the vegetables can be discounted. Even a sprinkling of cheese would be a nice addition. This is a recipe that can be quite variated. Hope you try it, and enjoy it, as we all have!!

Thank you.
