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
- NOTE: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, use self-rising flour. I DO NOT recommend using margarine, low-fat or fat-free items as this will change the texture and taste of the dish.
- Place chicken, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot. Cover with water, at least 2 inches over the chicken.
- 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.
- When cool, shred chicken into pieces.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1 stick butter.
- Pour butter into 3 quart baking dish.
- Spread chicken on top of butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour and milk together.
- Carefully pour evenly over top of chicken; scrape bowl.
- In 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.
- 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.
