Description
A warmly satisfying dish combining shredded chicken, hearty mashed potatoes, and vibrant mixed vegetables, all topped with a golden crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken works great)
- 4 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn—pick what you like)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
- 1 teaspoon rosemary (fresh or dried)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, mixing well. Simmer this mixture for about 5 minutes.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly in a baking dish.
- Top it generously with mashed potatoes, ensuring an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potato topping is golden and slightly crispy.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the layers settle.
Notes
This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or crusty bread. For added flavor, a drizzle of balsamic reduction over the salad is recommended.
