Makes: 6 servings
Prep 18 minutes
Bake 400°F for 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter (we use a non-hydrogenated plant based spread instead of butter)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- 5 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
- 1 egg yolk, whisked
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter spread in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 3 minutes. Sprinkle onion with the flour and cook 2 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, peas and chicken broth. Turn heat to medium high; cook 2 to 3 minutes, until sauce thickens. Add the chicken, salt and basil to taste; mix.
- Spoon the mixture into six oven-safe ramekins, filling each to the top.
- Unfold the sheets of phyllo dough, keeping them stacked. Use a paring knife to cut the dough into six circles that are 1 1/2 inches bigger in diameter than the ramekins. Place one stack on each ramekin; brush with some of the egg yolk. Top with the 1/4 teaspoon of basil and coat again with egg yolk.
- Cook on the top rack of oven 10 minutes. Enjoy!
