Smoked Chicken Shepherd's Pie

[@jackcambridge]

I’m in the uk. Your messing with a national dish here and I just have to say that I can’t believe you have gone and made this dish with chicken, how dare you go and make it look as delicious as this, it’s outrageous how much I want to eat it and I’m so happy you have given me a wicked recipe to try.

[@allthingsbbq]

H-E-L-L-O Jack from the UK! Now this is a comment that we can get behind! Took a little flack over spinning this dish, but man is it good. Thanks for watching!

[@canidpunk]

we made this for our wedding! it was just family and a few close friends and everyone absolutely loved it its so hearty and filling and just good

[@alans6767]

I have made chicken pot pie and shepherds pie but never chicken shepherds pie, what a great idea.

[@allthingsbbq]

Delicious. That's the consensus from our taste testers. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!

[@Fredafghanistan]

Chef Tom's reactions to the taste of the dish are priceless. Drip'ins in the beard and all. Who needs lamb?

[@allthingsbbq]

Right! A recent commenter said it well, just call it "Chef Tom's Pie." Perfect! This one was crazy good BTW. We all loved it. So easy to make and just as easy to give it your personal spin. Thanks for watching!

[@aaronboyum5985]

Love it! Soon as the snow storm passes here in MN... this is on!

That is great to hear and what a comforting dish to celebrate the passing of a storm. Thanks for being a part of our community!

[@quetimporta213]

Oh Tommy boy. I've never once thought of doing a smoked chicken one. I'm inspired regardless of it being in the 90s in Texas already

[@allthingsbbq]

Seriously, this one was outstanding. Give it a go, your family and friends will thank you. Thanks for watching!

THAT looks amazing! As always, a recipe that I will try very soon. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@zakelwe]

That's an excellent version on ingredients and texture. Noticed again comments on the naming of the traditional ones which are :- Lamb => shepherds pie Beef == > Cottage pie Fish == > Fish pie ( not very inventive ! ) Chicken ==> ?? Although from the UK I would be happy for the beef one to be Americanised and become Ranchers Pie, sounds more appropriate. Thoughts on this new pie ? Flockers pie ? Chef Tom's Mutha of a Flockers pie would be a great youtube video title. :)

[@allthingsbbq]

Thanks so much, we hope you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for being part of our community.

[@johnphillipsfishing]

We made this last night and it was a big hit. I didn’t exactly have everything on hand that Chef Tom made it with but it still was the best “Shepard’s pie” that we have ever made. My wife is not a big fan of ground beef so when she saw me making this she was really excited and couldn’t wait for it to be done. Definitely will be making this again and we are excited about left overs tonight!

For our team, a compliment like this is like making the front page of the Times! Nothing quite like folks cooking, sharing and enjoying our recipes. Thanks!

I am making this this week. Thank you. I love you style and have adopted it in all my bbq's for my family

I smoke a spatchcock chicken almost weekly. And I love shepherds pie. This is inspired! I am making this next week. It’s cold here in Cali - not Kansas cold, but still shepherds pie weather 😁. Thanks for another awesome video Chef! 👏👏👏

[@allthingsbbq]

Love to hear this! Smoked chicken as the protein in Shepherd's Pie produces an awesome outcome. Thanks for watching!

Wow, thanks for that. Not our first take on Shepherd's Pie, for certain, this was a good one. Thanks for watching!

[@nedkelly2864]

That looks soo good.

[@markrixson7791]

Being a Sheppard's Pie is lamb, and a Cottage Pie is beef, you should name your version something different like Village Pie or something like that ~ looks great and plan on making it here in Kansas City. Another great video. Cheers

[@allthingsbbq]

Maybe we call if "Chef Tom's Pie!" Thanks for watching!

[@bundesautobahn7]

My mother does something like a Shepherd's Pie, I also did it once myself. The meat mix however is sandwiched between two layers of mashed potatoes, and it does not have peas. One time I did a vegetarian variety due to lack of meat, I used mushrooms and some cream mushroom sauce.

[@allthingsbbq]

Hmm ... two layers of mashed potatoes, that sounds like it ought to be in the instructions. The ingredients are really Chef's choice, mushrooms, that's a hard yes for me. Thanks for watching!

[@bundesautobahn7]

@@allthingsbbq I don't think she knows what a Shepherd's Pie is and if I ever get to visit the UK I'd love to try it how they do it over there, but from many videos that I watched, she does make something similar to it. A lot of the basics are nearly identical. She just calls it a "potato pie".

[@jeffcartwright907]

wonderful as usual. going to try w duck

[@allthingsbbq]

[@hardwaterfanatic]

What are some other cheese options to use in the taters if a person doesn't have direct access to Black Truffle Romano Cheese? Recipe looks amazing and is on my list to try.

[@allthingsbbq]

Great question. Parmesan at a 1:1 + a pinch of salt. Asiago, a personal favorite, also 1:1. Thanks for watching!

[@SinisterMD]

Chef Tom - "The great thing about this recipe is that you can use pretty much anything you have in the fridge." Me - Reaches for the black truffle Romano cheese I always have on hand. :)

Um, just to be a PITA, I gotta' tell ya' that Shepherds Pie is always made with lamb, thus the name "Shepherd," as in herder of sheep. Any other meat, and it is Cottage Pie. I have several British friends, and they schooled me on that.

Your videos and recipes are awesome! I'm not familiar with miso paste. Can you help me understand the flavor and the benefit to adding it to the recipe.

[@mike7568]

It adds umami, additional savoriness, to the dish. I keep a tub on hand for dishes I don't want to cook down for hours for flavor.

[@coventrywildeheart7108]

Or maybe splash a pinch of MSG into it if you can't source miso paste.

[@hardwaterfanatic]

I didn't have access to this when I made it so I just substituted soy sauce which was a recommendation from Google.

Shepherd's pie is made with lamb and not beef. If you make the dish with beef it is called cottage pie. If you make it with smoked chicken it is a smoked chicken pie, or whatever you want to name it but it just isn't shepherd's pie just like you cannot make beef Wellington with e.g. salmon.
