Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 large chicken breast, boneless
1 stick real butter
1 1/2 c self-rising flour
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 c sour cream
3 c chicken broth (reserve for further use)
1 can(s) cream of celery soup
1/2 tsp savory (rosemary or thyme may be used)
4 Tbsp real butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. NOTE: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, use self-rising flour. I DO NOT recommend using margarine, low-fat or fat-free items as this will change the texture and taste of the dish.
  • 2. Place chicken, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot. Cover with water, at least 2 inches over the chicken.
  • 3. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and boil chicken until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. When chicken is done remove from broth and let cool. Reserve broth.
  • 4. When cool, shred chicken into pieces.
  • 5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1 stick butter.
  • 6. Pour butter into 3 quart baking dish.
  • 7. Spread chicken on top of butter.
  • 8. In a separate bowl, whisk flour and milk together.
  • 9. Carefully pour evenly over top of chicken; scrape bowl.
  • 10. In the same bowl whisk together 2 cups of the reserved chicken broth, cream of celery soup, sour cream and savory. Carefully pour this mixture over top of chicken and flour mixture.
  • 11. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a golden brown. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Then pour the remaining 1 cup reserved chicken broth evenly over the top. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until the broth has "soaked" into the chicken and dumplins.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a whole chicken that has been cut into 8 pieces. This will ensure that the chicken is evenly cooked and that the dumplings are cooked through.
  • If you don't have time to make your own dumplings, you can use store-bought dumplings. Just be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
  • To make the casserole more flavorful, you can add vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and sage.
  • If you want a thicker casserole, you can add more flour to the dumpling mixture. You can also add a cornstarch slurry to the casserole after it has been cooked.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of gravy. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken and dumpling casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying casserole that everyone will enjoy.
