Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 small head cauliflower
- 8 ounces extra-wide egg noodles
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
- 8 ounces assorted fresh mushrooms or white mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 large or 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Freshly ground pepper
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- 3 to 4 cups shredded Poached Chicken Breasts, recipe follows
- 1 cup panko
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a pot and season with salt. Add the cauliflower, cover and steam until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and cut into florets.
- Meanwhile, bring another pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles to just shy of al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain.
- Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender and browned. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Deglaze with the sherry, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper and a few grates of nutmeg.
- Combine the cauliflower, noodles, chicken and sauce. Transfer to a casserole dish.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in small pan, then drizzle over the panko in a bowl and toss to combine. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and toss. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the casserole. Bake until hot, bubbling and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley. Divide among plates.
- Cook's Note: The unbaked casserole (without the breadcrumbs) can be covered and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal.
- Put the chicken in a very large stockpot or divide between 2 pots if necessary. Add the peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, lemons, onions and herb bundle and sprinkle with salt. Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook at a rolling simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken from the liquid and let cool. Strain the stock. (You should have 5 to 6 quarts stock.) Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, and shred the meat using your hands or 2 forks.
