Delicious Chicken and Dumpling Casserole

Cook time: 40 Min  Prep time: 1 Hr   Serves: 6 easily

Ingredients :

3 boneless chicken breasts (i used 8 chicken thighs) boiled and shredded

2 c bisquick, or self rising flour

2 c chicken broth, from chicken above

1 stick unsalted butter

2 c 2% milk, or whatever you prefer

1 15 - 20 ounces cream of chicken soup

3 tsp chicken bouillon granules or cubes

1/2 tsp ground sage

salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 c any vegetables you like, or none at all

Directions :

1- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in sauce pan with enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat; place a lid on your pot and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes to finish cooking. Remove chicken from stock (reserve the stock) and allow to cool, then shred the chicken. When building the layered casserole, do not mix the layers.

2- 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 vegetables now. I used fresh corn from my freezer( thawed) and 1/2 cup diced sweet onion

3- Layer 2 - In small bowl, mix milk and Bisquick. Slowly pour over chicken.

4- 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.

5- I added some shredded parmesan cheese, and panko bread crumbs on top, for some crunch. Bake for 60 min,or till golden brown, remove from oven, and let stand for 5 min before cutting..ENJOY! This casserole is so tasty, and such a nice comfort food...

Enjoy!
