Shepherds Pie Ground Chicken

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish.

2. In a large skillet, brown the ground chicken over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

3. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

4. Stir in the diced carrots and frozen peas, cooking for a few more minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

5. Pour in the chicken broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

6. Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the liquid to reduce slightly.

7. While the chicken mixture is simmering, prepare your mashed potatoes if you haven't already done so.

8. Spread the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.

9. Carefully spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the chicken mixture, creating an even layer.

10. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, covering the entire surface.

11. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

12. If desired, broil the Shepherd's Pie for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a golden crust on the cheese.

13. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

14. Scoop out generous servings of this comforting Shepherd's Pie with Ground Chicken and enjoy the savory and satisfying flavors!
