Authentic Chicken Parmentier Recipe - A French Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.)
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (Can be homemade or store-bought.)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chicken broth (Low-sodium is recommended.)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup grated cheese (Gruyère or cheddar) (For topping the dish.)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (Freshly ground for best flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste.)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    This ensures even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, peas, chicken broth, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  3. Layer the Ingredients

    In a greased baking dish, spread the chicken mixture evenly. Top with mashed potatoes, smoothing out the surface.

    Use a spatula for a smooth finish.
  4. Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.

    Feel free to mix different cheeses for extra flavor.
  5. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

    Check periodically to avoid over-browning.
