Potato "nests" with chicken
Very nice to the eye and you can serve them to your guests.
Preparation steps
- Peel a squash, wash it, cut it into small pieces and cook in salted water with the addition of 2 cloves of garlic. Drain the boiled potatoes from the water, add butter and milk and beat with a mixer and finally add 1 egg and beat everything together. Pour with a spoon into the pastry bag, on which you put the star-shaped extension for decorating the cake, and on the baking tray, which you covered with baking paper, squeeze out the piles, ie the nests. I first made the hoop by going layer by layer and later I put the potatoes on the bottom and with a wet finger joined them with the inner layer of potatoes, you make as you like. If you don't have a pastry bag, you can make nests with a spoon. Nests can be made smaller, I deliberately made bigger ones ... one bigger nest is enough for 1 person for lunch.
- Preheat the oven to 175 ° C and put the nests to bake for ten minutes, just to catch the crust. I did this because I read a comment on FB that one person's nests fell apart when she baked them and wanted to serve them, so that I would be sure that they would not fall apart, otherwise the original recipe does not say that the nests burn beforehand.
- While the nests are baking, pour a tablespoon of oil into the pan and add finely chopped onion and fry until it softens and becomes glassy. Add the finely chopped chicken, you can use chicken breast or boneless drumstick (which will be softer and juicier than chicken breast) and fry together with the onion until the meat turns white, add the finely chopped garlic and fry for another minute until it smells good. Add salt and pepper to taste and finally add finely chopped parsley and mix everything together.
- Take the nests out of the oven, fill them with the prepared chicken, sprinkle with grated cheese and put them back to bake everything together. About 15 minutes is enough, although the original recipe says 25 to 30 minutes, I personally think it's too much, only the meat will dry out.
- Instead of meat, you can use some kind of mushroom and get a veggie lunch. Serve warm and if you still have the graves to serve with it, it will be a real hit, add a salad of your choice.
- Pleasant !!!!
