Recipe of Pulled Chicken & Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Egg

Before starting cooking, gather these ingredients first. 

• 1/2 cup cooked pulled chicken (from one chicken thigh)
• 1 cup cooked sweet potato, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large egg

Optional Flavour Boosters

• 1/4 teaspoon jerk seasoning or Cajun spice mix
• Chopped green onions
• Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, etc.)
• Plain yoghourt

Instructions

These simple steps help you make this dish. 

Cook the Sweet Potatoes

• Warm a skillet (cast iron is awesome if you have it) over medium heat.
• Drizzle in the olive oil and swirl it around the pan.
• Add your diced, cooked sweet potatoes. 
• Let them sizzle for a few minutes to get a bit crispy and golden. 
• Season generously with salt and pepper.

Add the Chicken & Spices 

• Toss your pulled chicken into the pan with the sweet potatoes. Give it a good stir to warm the chicken.
• If you want a kick, sprinkle in some jerk seasoning or Cajun spice. Go easy at first, you always add more later.
• Keep stirring everything until it's heated through and smells amazing.

Poach the Egg 

• While the hash is getting cosy, it's time to tackle the poached egg. 
• Fill a small saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer (tiny bubbles, not a rolling boil).
• Crack your egg into a small bowl or cup — this makes it easier to slide it into the water.
• If you're nervous, swirl the simmering water with a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool before gently adding your egg. This helps the white wrap around the yolk.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.
• Carefully scoop out your perfectly poached egg with a slotted spoon.

Plate Up & Enjoy 

• Pile that delicious hash onto a plate. Gently place your poached egg on top.
• Sprinkle with any toppings your heart desires — chopped green onions, a bit of fresh parsley, or a dollop of yoghurt for some tangy creaminess.
• Dig in! The runny yolk acts like a sauce for the hash — it's the best part

So, here’s your dish ready. Enjoy!  

Why This Dish Is Your New Go-To

Here’s why this dish is best for you. 

Protein Power

This dish packs a serious protein punch from both the chicken and the egg. That means you get the energy you need to power through your morning or tackle a busy afternoon. 

Protein also keeps you feeling full and satisfied, so those mid-day snack cravings won't stand a chance.

It Works for Any Meal

Breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner — this hash fits the bill. The poached egg makes it feel extra special for breakfast or brunch. Pair it with a simple salad, and you've got a satisfying lunch. At dinnertime, it's a lighter option that won't weigh you down.

Sweet Potato Goodness

Sweet potatoes aren't just tasty — they're loaded with healthy stuff. They're full of fibre to keep your digestion happy, plus vitamins and antioxidants for overall health. 

Easy to Make

You don't have to be a great cook to make this hash. It uses simple steps and few ingredients. 

Plus, using pre-cooked chicken makes it even faster. It's a recipe you'll feel confident making — even on your busiest days.

Perfect for Meal Prep

Roast a big batch of sweet potatoes and poach a few eggs on the weekend, and you've got breakfast sorted for several days. Just reheat the hash, top it with a fresh egg, and you're out the door with a satisfying meal.

How to Make This Hash Your Own

The beauty of this hash is how adaptable it is. With a few simple tweaks, you tailor it to your taste buds and make it feel fresh every time. 

Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Spice It Up

A sprinkle of your favourite spice mix completely changes the flavour profile. Try a bit of jerk seasoning for Caribbean vibes, a Cajun spice mix for some kick, a smoky paprika blend, or a classic mix of herbs like rosemary and thyme.

Switch Up the Protein

While pulled chicken is delicious, you easily swap it out for shredded beef, ground turkey, or even crumbled tofu for a vegetarian option.

Top It Off

Toppings add freshness, crunch, and a final flavour boost. Try chopped green onions, fresh cilantro or parsley, a dollop of sour cream or plain yoghurt, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds.

Embrace the Leftovers

Have some leftover roasted vegetables from another meal? Throw them in! 

Roasted zucchini, carrots, or even Brussels sprouts add delicious flavour and texture. This is a great way to use leftovers and prevent food waste.

Sauce It Up

While the hash is delicious on its own, a drizzle of sauce takes it to the next level. Try a simple yoghurt sauce with a pinch of cumin and a squeeze of lemon, a garlicky aioli, or your favourite hot sauce for a spicy kick.

Remember, there's no right or wrong way to customise this hash. Experiment, have fun, and discover the combinations you love best!
