Chicken Dumpling Casserole
Ingredients:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
2 cups chicken stock (from boiling the breasts above)
1 stick of butter (½ cup)
2 cups Bisquick or self-rising flour
2 cups milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 tablespoons chicken granules or 3 bouillon cubes
½ teaspoons dried sage
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper salt, as desired
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in sauce pan with enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil. Boil for 25-30 minutes. Remove chicken from stock (reserve the stock) and allow to cool, then shred the chicken.
NOTE: When building the layered casserole, do not mix the layers.
Layer 1 - In 9x13 casserole dish, melt 1 stick of butter. Spread shredded chicken over butter. Sprinkle black pepper and dried sage over this layer. Note: If you want to serve this as a pot pie, add a layer of mixed vegetables now.
Layer 2 - In small bowl, mix milk and Bisquick. Slowly pour over chicken. Note: The mixture will look very thin. This is normal.
Layer 3 - In medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of the chicken stock (strained, if needed), chicken granules and soup. Once blended, slowly pour over the Bisquick layer.
Bake casserole for 30-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
