Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup chopped celery

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a baking dish with butter. Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the dish. Sprinkle chopped celery over the chicken for added texture and flavor.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Slowly add the melted butter and milk, stirring until a thick batter forms. This will create the soft dumplings when baked.
  3. Carefully pour the dumpling batter over the chicken layer, spreading it evenly. Do not stir—this layering technique helps achieve the best texture.
  4. Gently pour the warm chicken broth over the batter. Again, do not mix—this step allows the flavors to blend while baking.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: Assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
