My hubby is not a fan of beef, therefore instead of traditional shepherd's pie which made up with beef, I substitute with minced chicken. Glad that this pie turns out great, the mashed potato is creamy and the meat filling is moist enough and not dry. My boy even finished one whole pie! :)
- 400gm minced chicken
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 50gm green peas
- 50gm corn kernels
- 4 tbsp thick teriyaki sauce
- 3 tbsp tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt n pepper to taste
- 5 large potato
- 3 tbsp milk
- 50gm butter
- Marinate minced chicken with teriyaki sauce, tomato sauce, salt and pepper for 30mins.
- Heat up oil. Stir-fry onion until soft and fragrance. Add minced chicken and fry for 3min. Add green peas and corn kernels and mix evenly. Remove from fire. Place mixture evenly into 6 ramekins.
- Peel potato and steam until tender. Mash while still hot.
- Stir in milk and butter and lightly season with some salt & pepper to taste. Spread mashed potato on top of minced chicken.
- Grill in hot oven for 12 mins until golden brown and mixture is bubbly.
Do I have to put a layer of butter on top of the potato? I've tried to bake but doesn't take out nicely brown and below was burnt
ReplyDeleteAngie Fan...no need brush with butter. Mostly likely is due to the heat of ur oven. The ingredients are cooked before baking. Only briefly bake to achieve the golden surface.
