Comfort food at its finest! This Chicken Shepherd’s Pie is the perfect way to use up leftover chicken or turkey, wrapped in a creamy, veggie-packed gravy and topped with fluffy mashed potatoes. It’s easy, hearty, and ready in under an hour!
Ingredients
– 3 tbsp butter
– ½ cup finely diced onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 tbsp flour
– 1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
– 2 cups chopped cooked chicken or turkey
– 14 oz chicken broth
– ½ cup additional broth (instead of wine)
– 1 tsp kosher salt
– ¼ tsp ground black pepper
– ¼ tsp poultry seasoning
– 3 cups mashed potatoes
– ¼ cup milk (optional, for creamier potatoes)
Instructions
1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté onion for 3 minutes until soft, then add garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Next, stir in flour until smooth. Cook for a minute, then mix in frozen vegetables and chicken.
3. After that, add chicken broth, extra broth, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, reheat mashed potatoes in a saucepan. Add a little milk if needed for a creamier texture.
5. Then, pour the chicken mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over the top.
6. Finally, bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra crispy top, rough up the mashed potatoes with a fork before baking or sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese!
