I wanted chicken and dumplins for supper but I didn't want to go through the hassle of making the dough for the dumplins and I also wanted to be able to put it in the oven. So, I came up with this and it came out pretty good I think. Please try it and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

How To Make baked chicken and dumplins

Step 1

Place chicken, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot. Cover with water, at least 2 inches over the chicken.

Step 2

Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and boil chicken until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. When chicken is done remove from broth and let cool. Reserve broth.
Step 3

When cool, shred chicken into pieces.
Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1 stick butter. Pour butter into 3 quart baking dish.
Step 5

Spread chicken on top of butter. Set aside.
Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk flour and milk together.
Step 7

Carefully pour evenly over top of chicken, scraping bowl clean.
Step 8

Using the same bowl whisk together 2 cups of the reserved chicken broth, cream of celery soup, sour cream and savory. Carefully pour this mixture over top of chicken and flour mixture.
Step 9

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a golden brown. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Then pour the remaining 1 cup reserved chicken broth evenly over the top. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until the broth has "soaked" into the chicken and dumplins.

NOTE: Baking time may vary depending the type of baking dish used. I use a Pampered Chef stoneware baking dish to bake this recipe. Stoneware retains heat and usually bakes dishes quicker than glass, metal or ceramic. Therefore, bake time may need to be adjusted.
