👩‍🍳 Recipe Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large pot along with 8 cups of water. Add the peppercorn, parsley, celery, carrot, and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  2. Cool and Cut the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken cool. Remove the skin and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Strain the stock and reserve 2 cups for later use.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: In a small pot, combine the shrimp, white wine, and a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Drain the shrimp, reserving half of the cooking liquid.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add the reserved chicken stock and shrimp liquid. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add 3/4 cup of whipping cream and continue to stir often for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Combine Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining cream. Add this mixture to the sauce, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with pepper, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Add chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
  6. Assemble the Pie: Combine the prepared sauce with the cooked chicken and shrimp, mixing lightly to coat evenly. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8-cup baking dish.
  7. Prepare the Topping: In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, sliced almonds, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the chicken and shrimp mixture.
  8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the assembled pie in the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling with deliciousness.

🍽️ Serve your Chicken and Shrimp Pie piping hot, alongside a fresh and crisp Mandarin Salad for a meal that will impress and satisfy even the most discerning of palates.
