Ingredients
For the Potato Crust:
- 1.5 lb (about 700 g) potatoes, grated
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or butter, for greasing
For the Filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast or thighs, cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for extra richness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the Potato Crust
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a pie dish or medium baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes, onion, carrot, garlic, egg, flour, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the baking dish to form a crust. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
2. Prepare the Filling
While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions, mushrooms, and garlic until soft and fragrant.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir for a minute, then slowly add the milk or cream, stirring to create a smooth sauce. Add the shredded chicken, cheese (if using), and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Simmer until thickened.
3. Assemble and Bake
Spoon the creamy chicken mushroom mixture into the pre-baked potato crust. Return to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Let cool slightly before slicing.
Serving Tips
- Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh thyme for a lovely finish.
- Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans for a balanced plate.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crispness of the crust.
This dish brings all the comfort of a creamy casserole but with a wholesome, veggie-packed twist. Enjoy every cozy, crunchy, creamy bite!
