- To make the filling, heat olive oil in a Chef Series Fry Pan. Add minced onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
- Add cubed chicken, sauté until half cooked. Add frozen mixed vegetables.
- Season with salt, white pepper, and sugar. Mix well.
- Add glass noodle and stir. Set aside
- Using the Large Spatula layer one portion of the potato filling in the base of the MicroPro Grill.
- Top the mashed potato mixture with the chicken and veggie filling spread across evenly, creating a layer.
- Use the Silicone Brush to brush egg wash on the potato mixture. Place the MicroPro Series Grill cover in the grill/low position and microwave for 15 – 20 min.
TupperTips:
- Substitute the chicken for minced lamb for a classic Shepard’s pie.
- For quicker process, instead of boiling your potatoes, cut potatoes in small cubes and microwave with a small amount of water for about 10 min. (Adjust based on your microwave).
- Add extra cheese in the mashed potato mixture for a cheesier version.
