Chicken Pontalba image

Cooked chicken breasts, drizzled with Bearnaise sauce.. served on a bed of deep fried potatoes , diced ham, mushrooms, onion, garlic and white wine...... I got this off the internet YEARS ago. I've only made it once!! I lost the recipe and it took me forever to find it again! I remember feeling slightly overwhelmed while making this(feeling like I had so much to do at once) but the end result was worth it!! ** I used packaged Bearnaise Sauce** **The only tips I can think of is I would start this recipe by making the Bearnaise sauce so it's done and deep frying the potatoes so they're done. ** Also, as you can see by the picture , smaller pieces of chicken are just fine too!
