Chicken Shepherd’s Pie with sweet potato mash
Chicken Shepherd’s Pie with sweet potato mash
When I saw this recipe in my clean eating magazine this month I had to try it. There's something about the thick layer of mashed potatoes atop the comforting mixture of meat, vegetables, and gravy that makes it irresistible. This recipe was easy healthy and delish!!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 sweet
potatoes
½ cup low
fat yogurt
½ cup yellow
onion chopped
2 cloves
garlic chopped
1 lb
boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
2 tbsp whole
wheat flour
1 tsp marjoram
1 cup chicken
broth
1 tbsp Dijon
mustard
1 cup sliced
and peeled carrots
1 cup frozen
peas
In medium saucepan, add sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed to
water and boil until fork-tender. Drain and mash with yogurt, salt and pepper. Set
aside.
In a large skillet heat 2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat,
add onion and garlic and cook until soft. Add chicken and cook until golden
brown about 3 minutes. Add flour and marjoram stir to coat. Add chicken broth and
mustard and bring to simmer. Cook, stirring frequently until sauce thickens
about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and
stir in carrots and peas and a little salt and pepper.
Spoon mixture into a 9 inch pie dish, spreading evenly over
bottom. Spread potato mixture on top ( you can also sprinkle parmesan or another
cheese on top)
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until filling is bubbly and top is
