Main Ingredients
- 3 cup cooked chicken shredded or cubed
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup self rising flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Cooking
Heat. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
Layer chicken. Spread the cooked chicken across the dish and pour the melted butter evenly over it.
Batter. Whisk the flour and milk until smooth, then pour it over the chicken without stirring.
Soup layer. Whisk the broth and cream of chicken soup together, pour it over the batter without stirring, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake. Bake uncovered 45 to 50 minutes until golden and bubbly at the edges, then rest 10 minutes.
Substitutions: Use leftover rotisserie chicken, shredded or cubed.
Tips: Pour the layers gently and do not stir them, because the dumplings form from the batter that rises through the broth.
Storage: Refrigerate for three to four days or freeze for two to three months.
