you will need : this is my own version....it doesn tsp include boiled parsnips, which are often used., chicken breasts,cooked, diced, baking potatoes, cooked,diced, carrots,boiled,diced, diced pickles, frozen peas, ex large eggs, boiled,diced, mustard, salt and pepper to taste, mayonnaise, extra ingredients for boiling chicken, if you want to make a stock, use the rib-in type of chicken breast...the ones with the rib bone attached. the bones impart a ton of flavor to the stock.you can then just remove the breast meat to use in the salad. if you don tsp want to make any stock, just use regular chicken breast. ), onion, celery stalks, carrots, parsnip (optional), use parsley , olives, reserved boiled vegetables, egg etc., important : if you would like to decorate your salad, remember to reserve some vegetables,egg,etc., boil potatoes in their skins in salted water till fork tender ., boil eggs till hard. set aside. place chicken breasts in a pot with water(sort of like making a soup). water doesn tsp have to be exact but you should have plenty(maybe 6-8 cups). place about 2-3 carrots, a stalk or two of celery and 1 onion. add some salt ( about 1 tbsp kosher salt). bring to boil and then simmer till carrots are tender and chicken is cooked. remove chicken and carrots to use for the potato salad. you can reserve the stock for a soup or freeze in small containers to use later in pan sauces, etc., dice chicken , potatoes, carrots(parsnip too, if you are using), and eggs. dice pickles and squeeze them a bit to remove some of their juice(this helps so that your salad doesn tsp become too watery). place frozen peas in a colander.place under running warm water to defrost them . drain completely and add to the rest of the diced ingredients., add mustard and pepper and 1 cup mayo., mix till combined taste for seasoning ., add more mayo to the mixture until it is tuna salad-like(for a lack of a better term) . you might need the full 2 cups. this depends on preference...use less if you don tsp want it too creamy or use more if you like it creamier. place in a nice serving dish and spread a thin layer of mayo...decorate with reserved vegetables(egg, carrots, peas, pickles, parsley, olives, chopped eggs...). since i didn tsp have too much time to decorate, wasn tsp planning on posting, and forgot to reserve some vegetables, i kept it rather simple.

i use a 3 1/2 to 4 lb chuck roast, well marbelized with fat, and if you can find a bone-in roast, that s better yet (but it s almost always boneless chuck that you find at the grocer). i like to quickly rinse the roast in cold water just before i lay it on the cutting board to coat it with seasoned flour. place the following ingredients in a small baggie and shake the closed bag to mix it up, flour, salt, garlic salt, crazy mixed-up salt (if you can tsp get this seasoning, use seasoned salt instead, but jane s is by far the best), pepper, use your hands to generously pat the seasoned flour into the roast, on both sides, flipping the roast a couple times and repeating the process., in a dutch oven or roasting pan large enough to hold the roast, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat - you want your pan and oil to be hot enough to sear the roast well when you put it in the pan. when the oil is just about to the smoking point, put the roast in and cover the pan. let the meat sear until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip the roast. let it sear for a minute or two on the second side, then add, beef stock (i much prefer the boxed stock to the canned broth - it just seems to give the gravy a much richer taste in the end), cover the roasting pan and place it in a pre-heated 300 degree oven. roast for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is fork tender and falls apart easily. i check the roast each hour, quickly opening the lid, just to make sure the stock has not evaporated. as long as your pan has a good seal on it, this shouldn tsp happen. but if necessary, add more stock to the pan., an hour before the roast is done , prepare the mashed potatoes. peel 6 large red potatoes (these work better - at least for me - because they are much moister than the russets, so the mashed potatoes are creamier); cut into 1/4th, and place them in a large saucepan - rinse the cut potatoes 2 times in cold water, then cover them in fresh cold water and place the pan over medium high heat; boil until tender. this is usually about 30 minutes, but it depends on the size of your cuts, so just cook them until you can easily insert a fork into a potato. drain potatoes well, reserving 1 cup of the water for the gravy. add the following to the hot potatoes, butter, sour cream, milk, salt, crazy mixed up salt (use regular salt or garlic salt if jane s salt is not available), pepper, i use a hand masher , but you can use an electric mixer or however you chose to mash the potatoes into a creamy yet firm texture. add more milk if potatoes are too stiff. place the mashed potatoes in a buttered casserole dish, cover with foil, and place in the oven to keep warm while you make the gravy., prepare the gravy, melt 2 tbsp butter, stir in 1/4 cup flour to make a paste, stir in enough beef stock to thin the paste enough to pour., finished roast from the pan and place it on a plate; cover meat with foil to keep warm., place the roasting pan over a medium flame and bring the liquid to a gentle boil (i usually seem to have about 1 1/2 to 2 cups liquid in the pan when the roast is done - if you have less, just use the beef stock to increase your liquid)., use a whisk to gradually whisk in the butter/flour/stock liquid., add 2 tbsp beef base - i use tone s (i prefer beef base to buillon - has a richer flavor and is really worth having on hand, but if you can tsp find this, try knorr s beef buillon extra large cubes), add the 1 cup of reserved potato water, add 1/2 cup beef stock, taste the gravy and see if you want more seasoning. i usually find i don tsp need to add anything at this point, since i have the seasoning from the flour coating and the stock and the beef base. if you think you need more seasoning, add salt and pepper to your taste. beef base will also give you more saltiness., keep the gravy warm while you uncover the meat and use 2 forks to pull the meat apart into small to medium chunks., you are now ready to assemble...
