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

Instructions
 

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.

Notes

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.
