Instructions
Making the Filling
Begin by preheating oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground chicken, mushrooms, thyme and oregano and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste, white wine, chicken broth, salt and pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the flour and butter until combined. Add the frozen peas and parsley and stir to combine until the filling thickens. Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
Making the Topping
In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese, butter, and parsley until combined. Spread the mashed potato mixture over the top of the filling and bake for 25 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
