Description
Rappie pie is a traditional Nova Scotia, Canada dish, made of grated potato, onion, and chicken; with broth served to pour over at the table.
Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons margarine
•
2 onions, chopped
•
4 quarts chicken broth
•
4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•
10 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
•
2 tablespoons salt
•
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10x14x2-inch baking pan.
2
Heat margarine in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook and stir until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.
3
Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot; stir in chicken breasts, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove chicken breasts to a plate using a slotted spoon; reserve broth.
4
Juice potatoes with an electric juicer; place dry potato flesh into a bowl and discard juice. Stir salt and pepper into potatoes; stir in enough reserved broth to make the mixture the consistency of oatmeal. Set remaining broth aside.
5
Spread half of potato mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Lay cooked chicken breast evenly over potatoes; scatter caramelized onion evenly over chicken. Spread remaining potato mixture over onions and chicken to cover.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 1 hour. Reheat chicken broth; pour over individual servings as desired.
