Poached slowly with celery, carrot, and onion, then bathed in a savory cream sauce brightened by pimento and savory herbs, this dish is old-fashioned comfort at its finest. The best part is how well it holds: assemble it, freeze it, and bake it straight from the freezer on a hectic day. Spooned over rice, it is the kind of gentle, nourishing meal that feels like a hug.
