This is EXCELLENT gravy and the more seasoning that you had on your chicken the better the gravy is. Shepherd's pie with creamy mashed potato and rich gravy = just like your mum used to make! If you are not a big fan of mashed potato topped 'pies' then why not try one of my other pastry-based pies like my creamy chicken puff pie or my rich and tasty. To make gravy, saute onion and garlic in butter. This rating is just for the gravy portion of the recipe- I used it to make a casserole version, but almost the same ingredients.
