Butternut squash chicken pie




 I'm not very adept at complicated food, but sometimes when I have more time I like to stay longer in the kitchen.

I wanted to eat something good and at the same time healthy.As the days are still  fresh
I made this variation of shepherd's pie using butternut squash, corn and  chicken instead  beef.
