Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup canned chipotle peppers
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 4 eggs

Method

  • Directions
  • To prepare the hash: In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes, peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and place in a saucepan of simmering water. Poach for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Cut each breast into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the potatoes, chicken, scallion, cilantro, chipotles and honey in a large bowl and mix gently until combined, season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties. Heat the oil in a large saute pan until just smoking. Season the patties with salt and pepper to taste and saute the patties on each side until golden brown. Keep warm.
  • To prepare the poached eggs: Heat the water and vinegar until simmering in a large frying pan. Break each egg into a cup and gently add to the water. Poach for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the yolk is nearly cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid and top each hash patty with 1 poached egg.
  • Green chile hollandaise:
  • 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch white pepper
  • 1 large poblano pepper, roasted, skinned, seeds removed and finely chopped**
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted until foamy
  • Place the yolks, salt, pepper in a blender and mix until smooth. Slowly, drop by drop add the warm butter to the mixture and blend until emulsified. Place in a bowl and fold in the chopped poblano peppers. Serve immediately or place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to keep warm, stirring occasionally.
