Description

A comforting dish combining tender chicken thighs with buttery mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup butter chicken sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup heavy cream (for mashed potatoes)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and sauté chopped onions until translucent.
  3. Add diced chicken thighs, seasoning with salt and pepper; cook until fully cooked.
  4. Stir in butter chicken sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Boil peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water until tender (about 20 minutes). Drain and mash with heavy cream until smooth.
  6. Spread the butter chicken mixture evenly in the baking dish, then top with mashed potatoes. Create peaks with a fork for crispiness.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add some chili powder to the chicken mixture.
  • Feel free to substitute other types of cheese if cheddar is not available.
