Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, chopped
  • 3 tbsp plus 1 tsp flour
  • 2 1/2 cups half and half
  • 3 egg yolks

  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the celery, onions and mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the flour and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • In a medium sized bowl, thoroughly combine the half and half and egg yolks. Slowly stir in the half and half mixture into the skillet, making sure to stir the entire time and not allow the liquid to boil. Add the cloves, lemon juice and salt.
