CHICKEN SHEPHERD'S PIE

This a fabulous one-pan meal. Serve with a salad and French bread. Just use left over fried, baked, or grilled chicken. You may substitute your family's favorite vegetable in place of corn. Potatoes and roasted garlic can be done 1 to 2 days ahead. If preference is to use dried spices, then use 1/2 teaspoon each of thyme and rosemary. Use any cheese of your choice.

CHICKEN SHEPHERD'S PIE



Chicken Shepherd's Pie image

Traditionally shepherd pie is made from lamb (hence shepherd) but since I don't eat red meat, I'm making it with chicken. You can use lamb if you wish. Vegetarian can replace the meat with variety of beans or TVP. You may use dried herbs if you don't have fresh herbs. Mushroom I used comes in a can and is sliced and pre-made in butter sauce

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality ground chicken, Dijon mustard, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality Dijon mustard: Not all Dijon mustards are created equal. Look for a mustard that is made with whole grain mustard seeds and has a sharp, tangy flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: You can use any type of vegetable you like in this dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, peas, and corn.
  • Make sure the mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy: Lumpy mashed potatoes will ruin the dish. Use a potato ricer or food processor to get a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes this dish so rich and decadent. Use a good quality cheddar cheese or a blend of cheeses.
  • Let the dish rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the dish to set up. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Chicken Dijon Shepherd's Pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a Shepherd's Pie that is sure to impress your family and friends.
