Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes into small, even pieces.
2. Cook Potatoes:
- Place the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
- Once cooked, drain and mash together until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
4. Cook Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the 1 tsp of paprika and cook for another minute.
- Sprinkle the 2 tbsp of cornflour over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Gradually add the 2 cups of chicken gravy, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
6. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the shredded chicken and chopped green beans to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among small pie dishes or ramekins.
- Top each pie with a generous portion of the mashed sweet potato and potato mixture. Smooth the tops with a spoon or fork.
- Place the pie dishes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Sprinkle each pie with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips:
- For a crispier topping, you can sprinkle a little bit of grated cheese on top of the pies before baking.
- Consider pre-cooking the chicken thighs by searing them in a pan for a few minutes on each side to lock in the flavors.
- To save time, peel and cube the potatoes and sweet potatoes the night before, and store them in a bowl of water in the refrigerator.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, gently simmer the chicken gravy with a bit more corn flour until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as carrots or peas, to the filling for added nutrition and variety.
