Chicken Dumpling Casserole.

The husband & I have been under the weather this week so I decided to make his favorite comfort food for dinner. Chicken & Dumplings!  Neither one of us like our chicken and dumplings soupy, so what better way to fix that than turn it into a casserole (because in the South, that's what we do)!

You will need:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

-boiled & shredded

2 cups chicken stock

1 stick butter

2 cups bisquick or self rising flour

2 cups milk

1 can cream of chicken soup

3 bouillon cubes (chicken flavor)

1 tablespoon salt & pepper

First, the chicken!  Place the chicken in a sauce pan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and sit 10-15 minutes. I usually let mine sit the full 15. 

Once you've cooked, shredded your chicken, melt the stick of butter and pour into a greased 9x13 pan. 

Then top with the shredded chicken & pepper. 

In a small bowl, mix together your 2 cups milk & 2 cups bisquick or self rising flour. Pour over shredded chicken. 

In another small bowl, whisk 2 cups chicken stock, 3 bouillon cubes, and can of cream chicken soup. Slowly pour over bisquick layer. 

Bake in oven at 350 for 35 minutes!  It should have a yellow tint and the top will be slightly crisp. 

At this point you will need to add salt to taste. The first time I made this I added the salt during the layering process and it was a tad too salty (the broth and cream of chicken add salt naturally). So now I save it for the end and it's much better!
