Chicken & Dumpling Casserole II
Sounds very good! On the to cook list for sure. I love a good casserole, and chicken, win win. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
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.
