• For the Filling:
• In a saucepan bring the broth to a boil, add the carrots, the potatoes, and the celery, and simmer the vegetables, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender.
• Transfer the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, reserving the broth, and add the chicken to the bowl.
• In another saucepan cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the flour, and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes.
• Add 3 cups of the reserved broth in a stream, whisking, reserving any remaining broth for another use, and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking.

• Stir in the nutmeg, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste, pour the sauce over the chicken mixture, and stir the mixture gently until it is just combined.
• Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart shallow baking dish or divide it among four 2-cup shallow baking dishes.
• The filling may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Bring the mixture to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes until tender. Drain and mash. If desired, whip with butter and milk.
• Spread about half the potatoes in a round 2 litre casserole.
• Mix chicken, soup and vegetables. Spread over potato layer.
• Top with remaining potatoes.
• Bake at 350 until heated through, about 30 minutes.
• We like all things cheesy, so I usually put one cup grated cheese on top of the chicken layer, before the top layer of potatoes.
• You can substitute an equal amount of chicken gravy for the soup.
• This reheats very well in the microwave. In fact, sometimes I assemble it and put it in the fridge for the next night. Then I don't bother putting it in the oven at all, I just scoop out bowls full and zap them.
