Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken (homemade or purchased)

  • 4 large carrrots
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Remove the skin from the chicken, remove the meat form the bones and dice the chicken meat.

  • Sauté the shallot for a few minutes in the olive oil until clear but not brown.
  • Add the vegetables and sauté a few minutes longer.
  • Add the chicken and mix well.
  • Add the broth and simmer to reduce until almost all liquid is gone.
  • Place filling in a casserole.
  • In a large bowl, blend the flour, bread crumbs, grated cheese and spice mixture with your hands.
  • Then with your fingertips, mix in the somewhat softened butter; the mixture should be somewhat crumbly.
  • Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the vegetable and chicken mixture and bake for about 35 minutes or until the crumble is golden.
