Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 cups cooked chicken, see Step 1
  • 4 tablespoons butter, this is 1/4 standard block
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • For the chicken, economical way is to use quarters, separated, about 6 to 8 cover with about 2 inches of water (any extra chicken after this, freeze and use in another recipe). Boil them up in large pot. Optional, to make a really good broth and juicy chicken, add Trinity (an onion, celery, and a carrot, all roughly chopped). Allow to cool to room temp, remove skin and bones (good dinner for your dog) and roughly chop the chicken. Stain the broth, measure out 2 cups for this recipe, put the rest in a jar and cover and place in your fridge for the next recipe.
  • Preheat your oven to 200 C. Add the butte to a 9x13 baking dish and put in the oven while it is heating, remove the dish when the butter is melted, see, you just saved yourself a small sauce pan to wash.
  • Remove dish from the oven and place the chopped chicken in the dish. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, salt, and baking powder, pour this over the chicken in the dish but do not stir or mix in, think of this as a chicken cobbler.
  • Same mixing bowl, mix together the soup and chicken broth you made, pour this over the casserole, but once again, do not stir or mix in.
  • Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, done will be indicated by a nicely browned top and bubbling on the edges.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

I will state go with 1 kilo of chicken, cost for that would be about 70 Baht. Go a heavy handed with the chicken for 90 Baht, no one will complain. For 6 servings, this is about 45 cents per serving.
Shortcut: Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup.
