Chicken Shepherd’s Pie 牧羊人(鸡肉)馅饼
This quick and delicious shepherd’s pie was made with leftover roast chicken over the Christmas holiday. Traditional Shepherd’s pie originated from North England and Scotland made with ground lamb or mutton with mixed vegetables, topped with thick soft and creamy mashed potatoes. It’s a comfort hearty meal when you start digging your spoon into this savoury dish.
Preparing the chicken filling is really simple and easy, with onion, some frozen mixed vegetables and sauce thickened with plain flour. This only takes about 15 minutes to cook. If you wish you can even add button mushrooms, or celery that you have on hand. After you have boiled the potatoes to soften for about 20-25 minutes, then place all the potato ingredients into the food processor to blend them smoothly. Sounds so easy right? Then place all the ready ingredients into individual baking dishes or you can place them into aluminium paper cups. Place the the chicken filling at the bottom and pipe the creamy potato on top, then bring to bake until it forms a golden crust. Then ready to enjoy!
