Ground Chicken Cottage Pie with Parmesan Mash

60 min 6 servings Moyen
Cottage pie is a classic comfort food, traditionally made with minced beef. This lighter version uses ground chicken, which not only reduces the fat content but also introduces a different, yet delicious flavour profile. The addition of leeks and thyme provides a fragrant aroma, while the Parmesan mash adds a touch of elegance and richness. This recipe is ideal for those who enjoy traditional dishes but are looking for a healthier alternative. The combination of creamy mashed potatoes with a savoury chicken filling makes this dish a family favourite, perfect for a cozy evening at home.

Instructions

1

Preheat and prepare potatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

Astuce de chef : Use a fork to check tenderness; it should easily pierce the potato.

2

Cook the filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and leeks, sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

Astuce de chef : Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

3

Add chicken and seasonings

Add ground chicken to the skillet, cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, chicken broth, and thyme. Simmer for 10 minutes. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the mixture.

Astuce de chef : Break up any large pieces of chicken with a spoon.

4

Incorporate peas

Stir in frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Astuce de chef : Ensure peas are evenly distributed throughout the filling.

5

Mash the potatoes

Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Mash with warmed milk, butter, and Parmesan until smooth.

Astuce de chef : Avoid over-mashing to prevent a gluey texture.

6

Assemble and bake

Spread the chicken filling in an ovenproof dish. Top with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Astuce de chef : Use a fork to create texture on the mash for a crispy topping.
