Ingredients

For the pie filling:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
300 grams of chicken breasts, diced into bite sized pieces
200 grams of mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup frozen peas

For the mashed potato topping:

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Making the Pie Filling

Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft, about 3 minutes.

Next, add the flour and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken stock and stir until the mixture starts to thicken. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Finally, add the parsley and peas and stir until everything is well combined.

Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

Making the Mashed Potato Topping

In a large pot, add the potatoes and enough cold water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

Add the butter, milk, salt and pepper and mash the potatoes until they are light and fluffy. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the pie filling and smooth them out with a fork.

Baking the Pie

Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
