It's Me Time!


I was in the mood of trying something really good for dinner - a change of pace to the usual chicken-fish-meat dishes. I wanted to treat myself, and treat myself I did to a yummy SCD Shepherd's Pie!

Here's my recipe:
Chicken Layer
2 lbs. ground chicken
1 large onion, diced
2 Tbls. oil
2 zucchini
2 Tbls. homemade mayo
salt & pepper to taste

1. Saute' onion in oil until translucent.
2. Peel and shred zucchini.
3. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

Squash Layer
1 large butternut squash
1 large onion, diced
2 Tbls. oil
4 Tbls. homemade mayo
salt & pepper to taste

1. Saute' onion in oil until translucent.
2. Cut the squash lengthwise, and remove seeds. Do not peel squash.
3. Place squash skin side up onto a lined baking sheet. Bake at 375F for approx. one hour. It's done when the squash will discharge some water.
4. Peel squash, place in a medium bowl, and mash well. Add onions and the rest of the ingredients, and mix well.

Assembly: Divide chicken and squash mixtures into two equal parts. In a 9X13 pan, layer chicken, squash, chicken, and top with squash mixture. Bake at 350F, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours.

Enjoy in good health : )
