Chicken Shepard’s Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 large carrot, cut into 1/3-inch chunks
- 1 celery rib, 1/3-inch chuck
- 1 pound mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth Salt, to taste
- 1 small roast chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 bunch kale, de-ribbed and cut thinly
Biscuit Crumb Topping Ingredients
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon chopped rosemary
- Zest of 1 lemon 1/2 cup tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large Dutch oven or enameled cast-iron casserole add olive oil and sauté onion, carrot, celery, and mushroom over moderate heat, stirring, until the shallots and mushrooms are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and “deglaze” scraping brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Cook the wine until completely evaporated, about 1 minute.
- Push all vegetables to the side and add butter to the open part of the pan. Stir in the 2-3 tablespoons of flour and whisk for a minute until the flour is slightly browned. Add the broth and whisk to eliminate all clumps, combine roux with vegetables and simmer until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chicken and kale. Leave in the Dutch oven or transfer to the casserole dish.
- In a food processor, combine biscuit flour with 4 tablespoons of butter and the chopped sage and zest, pulse slightly until butter is the size of peas. Add the milk; pulse just until a crumble forms.
- Place crumble over chicken in Dutch oven or transfer dish and bake for 12-15 minutes until bubbly and biscuit is golden.
