What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Food Whisperer: Shepherd’s Pie! Chicken or Beef? That’s the biggest decision you need to make with this tasty comfort food recipe. If you follow tradition, no doubt you would choose beef. That’s fine. I, on the other hand, was in the mood for chicken. Either way the cheesy potato crust, over a savory blanket of gravy, is the star attraction. If you are searching for a great weeknight meal without all the fuss, warm up your kitchen, kick back, and relax.
SHEPHERD’S PIE
Ingredients:
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/4 pounds chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, and cut into chunks
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Combine the cream of mushroom soup and water in a large bowl. Stir well. Set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add chicken chunks, black pepper, onion powder, and poultry seasoning. Cook until well browned. Transfer the chicken to the soup mixture. Add mixed vegetables. Stir to coat. Spoon chicken filling into a 2-quart casserole dish. Spread mashed potatoes over chicken layer. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake 40 minutes or until chicken filling is hot and bubbly.
