Shepard’s Pie

One of my favorite comfort foods. With the weather so gross today- I figured it would be perfect! It’s fairly easy to make and uses simple ingredients you already have at home.

Usually about 1 inch cubes. I let the chicken marinade for at least 24 hours. In large container add chicken, olive oil, red…
