Roast Chicken Shepherd’s Pie with Sweet Potato Mash

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion and carrot until tender (about 8 minutes). Add garlic and cook another minute. Stir in flour to make a quick roux, then slowly pour in broth while stirring. Add herbs, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer and thicken. Stir in chicken and peas. Turn off heat.

Step 2

In a bowl, mash the sweet potatoes with butter, milk, and optional cinnamon. Whip until smooth and season with salt to taste.

Step 3

Pour the chicken mixture into a baking dish. Spoon the sweet potato mash on top and spread it gently like a cozy blanket. Drag a fork across the top for some rustic texture.

Step 4

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. You can broil for the last few minutes for extra caramelization.
