Chicken and Herb Shepherd’s Pie Bake

Chicken and Herb Shepherd’s Pie Bake marries tender shredded chicken with green chiles and a creamy, herb-laced sauce beneath a plush layer of mashed potatoes. Parmesan and basil form a golden, savory crust that contrasts the rich filling and tender green beans. Serve for a comforting weeknight dinner or a casual weekend gathering when you want something warm and satisfying.

Chicken and Herb Shepherd’s Pie Bake
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the chicken, chiles, rosemary, and thyme into the onion mixture. Cook and stir until the chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a saucepan over medium-high heat, stir the cream of chicken soup and evaporated milk together until warmed, 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Spread the green beans in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish and pour the chicken mixture over the beans. Top the chicken layer with the cream of chicken soup mixture and spoon the mashed potatoes over the top. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and basil over the mashed potatoes.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are lightly golden and the casserole is heated through, about 20 minutes.
