WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE CHICKEN AND DUMPLING CASSEROLE?

You will need these simple ingredients for making chicken and dumpling casserole:

• 3 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless;
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter;
• 2 cups self-rising flour;
• 2 cups milk;
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup;
• 3 bouillon cubes;
• ¼ tsp dried parsley;
• salt, pepper, to taste.

How to make Chicken Dumpling Casserole

• Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  Melt 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Then, pour melted butter into a 9×13 inch casserole dish.

• Step 2. The next layer of chicken and dumpling casserole will be shredded chicken breasts. Add 3 chicken breasts to a large pot with salted boiling water. Simmer until the chicken breasts are ready. Then, remove them from the pot and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of chicken stock for later. Shred each chicken breast using two forks and place it evenly on top of the melted butter.

• Step 3. Season shredded chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried parsley.

• Step 4. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk and 2 cups self-rising flour until no lumps of flour remain. Pour this mixture over the shredded chicken breasts.

• Step 5. The last layer of chicken and dumpling casserole will be the mixture of bouillon cubes, chicken stock, and cream of chicken soup. In a large bowl, mix together reserved 2 cups of chicken stock, 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of chicken soup, and 3 bouillon cubes. Pour it into the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Enjoy!

Preparation tips and tricks:

1. You can use any of your favorite herbs – dried sage, dried parsley, Italian seasonings, etc.
2. Don’t forget to reserve 2 cups of chicken stock when you have finished cooking the chicken breasts.
3. You can also use Bisquick instead of self-rising flour, or prepare your homemade self-rising flour.
