Spiced Chicken & Hidden Veg Shepherd's Pie

with Cheesy Potato Top

We firmly believe that there’s nothing better than a homey, comforting classic to warm you from the inside out. What gets us even more excited is when we throw in a little twist, just like tonight’s shepherd’s pie! You’ll still find the classic chicken and cheesy potato top but tonight we're simmering it in a fragrant array of spices, veggies and coconut milk for a flavourful twist!

Cooking Steps

Make the mash
1

• Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. • Peel potato and parsnip and cut into small chunks. • Add potato and parsnip to the saucepan of boiling water and cook until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. • Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the milk, salt and butter to the saucepan. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes and parsnip!

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, finely chop onion. Grate the carrot. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. Little cooks: Help peel off the onion's outer layer (we recommend wearing goggles to avoid onion tears!).

Start the filling
3

• Preheat grill to medium-high. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook onion, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add chicken and carrot, tossing, until browned, 5-6 minutes.

Finish the filling
4

• Reduce the heat to medium-high and add mild Sambal seasoning and garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk, the brown sugar, chicken-style stock powder and baby spinach leaves and cook until thickened, 1 minute. Season to taste.

Grill the pie
5

• Transfer the mince filling to a baking dish and spread evenly with the mash. • Sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese. Grill until the top is lightly golden, 8-10 minutes. Little cooks: Join in on the fun by smoothing the mash mixture evenly over the pie!

Finish & serve

• Divide mild Sambal-spiced chicken and cheese pie between plates. Enjoy!
