Sweet Potato and Ground Chicken Shepherd's Pie
Sweet Potato and Ground Chicken Shepherd's Pie
- Preparation time: 20-30 minutes
- Cook time : 30 minutes
I don't eat beef, but I love shepherd's pie, so I decided to make up my own. Instead of potatoes, I use sweet potatoes because they add a bit of sweetness to the pie, and the colour is gorgeous on a crisp white plate! The addition of the cheese on top balances the sweetness of the potatoes and provides a delicious gooey treat! I mean, hey, isn't everything better with cheese?
