Am so happy to finally be able to try their pies. A Pie Thing had been there in Uptown for quite some time. Easily spotted as the shop is facing LDP with a bright signboard at the corner. 

A cool concept of making pies the main thing. The environment was cozy and simple with few tables outside of the shop and some bar top tables and chairs too. 

Chicken Cottage Pie

I've been wanting to make this long time ago after I found this simple recipe from Nasi Lemak Lover. Simple and delicious recipe, suitable for a lazy Sunday when you don't feel like going out for dinner. So I made this a couple of weeks ago for my family. 

I adapted the recipe from Nasi Lemak Lover as I mentioned above. In her recipe, she did used cauliflower and since I don't have it in my kitchen, I just used broccoli.

Ingredients:

400gm chicken breasts, cubed
100gm canned button mushrooms, cubed
200gm broccoli, cut into small pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, cubed
1 can of Campbell Cream of Chicken (small can)
2 tbsp olive oil
Sufficient salt to taste

For the potato:
4 US Russet Potatoes (small to medium size), cut to smaller pieces
5tbsp milk
Black pepper 
Salt

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes in a pot of boiling water until tender.
2. In a bowl, mashed the potatoes and add in milk, black pepper and milk. Set aside.
3. In a frying pan, heat up oil in medium heat and add in onions. Add in chicken and stir until it changes colour. Then, add in the cream of chicken and remaining ingredients. Cook for another 2 minutes and season with salt.
4. Transfer the chicken to the baking dish. Scoop the mashed potato and spread evenly. Stripes the surface with a fork. Sprinkle some dried parsley (optional).
5. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C for 20 minutes till the top turns slightly brown.
