Chicken Shepard’s Pie

While the origins of shepherd's pie are often attributed to England, it's important to note that variations of similar meat-and-potato dishes exist in various cultures. In Ireland, a comparable dish called "cottage pie" is also popular. The difference in names is often associated with the type of meat used, with lamb being more prevalent in shepherd's pie and beef in cottage pie.

This traditional Irish dish originated as a thrifty way to repurpose leftover meat. In the late 18th century, the concept evolved from using lamb or mutton, commonly tended by shepherds, hence the name.

• Splash of milk
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp black pepper
