How To Make healthy & easy shepherd's pie

Step 1

Boil 1 piece of boneless chicken or turkey, with bay leave, pepper and paprika. Save broth. Chop chicken into small pieces and set aside. Or use leftovers or canned.

Step 2

Use part of broth to make one box stove top stuffing. Or use leftovers. Spread stuffing in bottom of 8x8 pan.
Step 3

Mix chopped chicken with 1 can cream of soup, add ½ cup of corn (or other veggies). Season to taste. Spread soup mixture in pan atop stuffing.
Step 4

Use additional broth to make mashed potatoes, season with paprika and pepper, or other spices and herbs. Or use leftovers. Spread atop soup mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.
Step 5

Bake at 400’ until cheese is melted and potatoes are just a bit browned. Can also be microwaved until cheese melts.
Step 6

*Can be easily made to serve 6-8 by doubling recipe and using 9x13 pan. Or, make a triple recipe and use two pans. Doubling or tripling recipe and using more than one pan also allows you to serve one and freeze one for use later! Re-heats well in microwave.
