Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- In a large pan, sauté the onion and garlic in a splash of olive oil until lightly golden and softened. Add to a large bowl.
- In the same pan, cook the zucchini until golden brown and season with salt. Transfer to the mixing bowl with the onions.
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in the same pan you used to cook the vegetables then whisk in the flour. Allow to cook for a minute then slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously.
- Allow to simmer over low heat until thickened then season to taste with salt and pepper. I like adding a pinch of nutmeg too but that's optional.
- Add the béchamel sauce to the bowl with the veggies then add the shredded rotisserie chicken.
- Stir together then transfer to a casserole or baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the fresh herbs.
- Top the casserole with the breadcrumbs then drizzle with a tablespoon of oil.
- Bake in a preheated oven until crisp, golden and bubbling then serve.
