Chicken dumpling casserole

[rosie]

From the plain chicken blog. Her stuff is always really good

3 to 4 cups cooked chicken shredded
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 1/4 tea baking powder
1/4 tea salt (I don't use)
1 cup milk
1 can cream of chicken

Preheat oven 400°
In a 9x13 pan melt butter
Put chicken in pan
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Pour over chicken DO NOT STIR
whisk together broth and soup pour over batter DO NOT STIR
Bake 35 to 45 min til light golden

I serve a green veggie with this.

I add about 1/2 teaspoon chicken grandules to the broth and soup. Recipe does not call for it. I use it in place of salt.

That sounds different and interesting. You just would put a spoon through it when you dish it up, I am guessing. The broth and soup make the gravy over it? I think. I am also thinking peas or carrots, or both would be good and a one pan dish. I am into that a lot lately as it is a one pan meal, less time, work and a healthy meal with one pot or pan that needs washing.

Thank you. I will try freezing some of the leftovers and see how that works. I would think it would really be good and make a quick and good meal on a cold day when comfort food is called for.

Thank you so much!!!

Sure. It comes out really thin as in not deep. I tried a smaller casserole hoping it would be thicker (deeper) but that didn't work at all. It just never got done in the middle. Hence the name chicken soup shit.

rosie, that sounds really tasty! I love stuff like this and I’ll be trying it after my son leaves next week. He’s not crazy about dishes like that at all, his loss, he sure didn’t get that from me!

I think I will try canned biscuits and just cut them up, drop them on the chicken and veggies and pour the broth and soup over it. I have seen other recipes that use them so think that will work. Will let you know.

That sounds like a good idea LTB. That would make it deeper. I have made bubble up pizza. I love it. I've read alot of bubble up recipes and I think this recipe would be improved doing that. TY for the idea

You are welcome rosie. But thank you for the recipe and what you thought of it. Sometimes it takes different ideas, thoughts and what you have done in the past. I think that is what make a person a better cook. Listening, watching and just plain jumping in and trying a different way. Some of the best food I have made was by flying by the seat of my pants.
