Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Add ground chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook 6–8 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink remains and edges start to brown.

  2. 2

    Stir in onion, carrots, and celery. Cook 5–6 minutes until the onion softens. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle flour over the meat and stir 1 minute. Add broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire, and thyme. Simmer 4–5 minutes until the gravy thickens and coats a spoon. Fold in peas. Taste and adjust salt.

  4. 4

    Heat broiler. Spoon warm mashed potatoes over the filling and spread to the edges. Sprinkle cheddar if using. Broil 3–5 minutes until the top is golden with browned spots. Rest 5 minutes before scooping.
