Ingredients that Make You Go WOW!
Gather these fantastic ingredients because every hero needs their special tools to cook up goodness!
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn—let’s all get colorful!)
- 1 small onion, diced (because tears are just part of the process)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (gotta ward off those vampires!)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, or whatever herb tickles your fancy)
- 1 cup chicken broth (liquid goodness that brings it all together)
- 1 cup milk (or no-milk if you’re feeling rebellious!)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (because everything tastes better with fat)
- 4 cups mashed potatoes (store-bought if you’re lazy, homemade if you’re a hero)
- Salt and pepper to taste (seasoning is key, my friends)
Instructions: Let’s Get Cookin’!
- In a large skillet, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in diced onions and let them soften for about 3 minutes—this is where the magic starts!
- Add in minced garlic and mixed vegetables. Sauté that mix until it’s vibrant and fragrant, around another 5 minutes. Your kitchen should smell divine right about now!
- Stir in the shredded chicken and fresh herbs, followed by the chicken broth and milk. Bring it to a gentle simmer while you pat yourself on the back for this genius combination.
- Once it’s bubbling in happiness, season it with salt and pepper to your liking. Taste it, dance around the kitchen, and adjust if needed!
- Transfer this glorious mixture into a baking dish, and top it generously with those creamy mashed potatoes. Make it fancy with swirls or peaks, but remember, neatness doesn’t count; deliciousness does!
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and calling your name!
- Let it cool for a few minutes before diving in—simply because you don’t want to burn your tongue and have to explain that in public.
And voila! You’ve crafted a Herbed Chicken Shepherd’s Pie that is not just a meal but a celebration! Dig in and enjoy every bite of this scrumptious delight!
