I strive for you to have the best experience. If there’s anything the club can do to make the experience better, please let me know as we move forward in 2015. 507-354-3165 Finally, as this year comes to a close and a new year begins, changes occur on the calendar, in the weather, in ourselves, and even in the Glück-n-Spiel Club.

Reduce the heat to medium, flip the chicken, cover the pan and cook on second side for 7 to 8 minutes.

Serve the chicken with Potato-Vegetable Hash and the pan sauce. Garnish with chives. Directions for the Potato Vegetable Hash: Using a box grater, shred the potato, zucchini and squash, and add them to a large bowl. Stir in the onion, egg, flour, garlic, herbs, and Cajun spice. Blend well. Add more flour if mixture is too wet. The mixture should hold its shape when squeezed. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil. Portion the hash into 2 cakes, then gently put them in the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook until the other side is browned. Remove them from the pan to a paper towel and season with salt, to taste. Serve warm. December Fun & Games! December Merry Christmas!
