Chicken Parmentier

Chicken Parmentier is a cozy, layered dish similar to a shepherd's pie, but with a chicken and vegetable filling instead of lamb or beef. A creamy mashed potato topping, enriched with butter, cream, and egg yolks, covers a slow-cooked base of shredded chicken, shallots, carrots, celery, and tomatoes. It's finished with a sprinkle of Gruyère cheese and baked until bubbling and golden. This recipe comes together with about twenty minutes of active cooking before it goes into the oven.
