Ingredients

  • 250g cooked chicken, shredded

  • 240ml chicken stock
  • 150g frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 15ml olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 480g mashed potatoes

  11. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves preparation time.
  • For extra flavor, add fresh thyme or parsley to the filling.
  • Sweet potato mash can replace regular mashed potatoes for a different topping.
  • The pie can be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking.
  • Broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end for an extra crispy topping.
