a twist on shephard's pie
k, so one of my favorite dishes is breaded chicken cutlets, mashed potatoes and cream-style corn...so i adapted it to this recipe:
1 lb. boneless chicken breasts or cutlets - if using breasts, i usually "filet" them from end to end so you end up with a cutlet
1 egg
3Tbs milk or water
bread crumbs to coat all the chicken
2 cups mashed potatoes (instant or leftover work great)
2 cans cream style corn
beat egg and milk together. coat chicken in bread crumbs, then the egg, then the bread crumbs again. fry (i use olive oil) until golden brown.
in 2.5 quart casserole, pour 2 cans of corn. press chicken down into the cream corn. top with the mashed potatoes (i have also been known to throw a layer of monterey jack or cheddar cheese under the potatoes).
dot with butter and sprinkle lightly with paprika. bake in 400 degree oven approximately 20 minutes (until the top is lightly browned)
hope you all enjoy this!
