Serves 6 people

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon chicken broth base
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 double-crust flaky pie pastry, refrigerated for 30 minutes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°; grease a shallow 2-quart casserole using about 2 teaspoons butter.

  2. In a big skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat; add in onion; stir/saute for 20 minutes or until caramel-colored.

  3. Add in flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

  4. Stir in evaporated milk, chicken broth base, wine, and pepper; cook/stirring, for 5 minutes, or until thickened.

  5. Remove from heat and stir in the chicken and parsley; spread out in the casserole and sprinkle with the pecans and Parmesan cheese.

  6. Roll out pastry to ¼-inch thickness; cut into 1-inch wide strips and arrange them in a lattice design over the filling; reserve any scraps and roll out into additional strips.

  7. Bake casserole for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.

  8. Put any extra rolled-out strips on a cookie sheet and bake during the last 10-12 minutes; serve with the cobbler.
