Ingredients:
- Pulled chicken from a rotisserie chicken (no skin)
- 1 stick of butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup self-rising flour (essential for proper rise)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Layer the Chicken: Spread the pulled chicken evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken, and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Create the Dumpling Layer: In a bowl, whisk the self-rising flour and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken without stirring.
- Mix the Broth: In the same bowl, combine the chicken broth and condensed cream of chicken soup. Pour this over the flour mixture—again, do not stir.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 45 minutes until the dumplings rise and turn golden.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the dumplings to finish forming. Enjoy warm!
It’s an effortless, comforting meal that’s great for leftovers too!
