A comforting and flavorful dish made with shredded rotisserie chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy mashed potato topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin removed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1/2 cup corn (optional, but adds sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 large Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then mash with milk, butter, and salt until smooth.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the frozen peas and carrots mix along with the optional corn to the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are thawed and heated through.
  4. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, flour, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, around 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you assemble. Spread the chicken filling mixture evenly into a baking dish.
  6. Top the filling with the creamy potato mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula. For added flavor, sprinkle the optional cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Allow cooling for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the vegetables or add breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping.
