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

  • 1
    NOTE: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS USE SELF-RISING FLOUR. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING MARGARINE, LOW-FAT or FAT-FREE INGREDIENTS. USING THESE TYPES OF INGREDIENTS WILL EFFECT HOW IT BAKES! Also, please take into consideration your altitude level and adjust oven temp and baking times accordingly.
  • Chicken, butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot.
    2
    Place chicken, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot. Cover with water, at least 2 inches over the chicken.
  • Stockpot with a lid on top.
    3
    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.
  • Cooked chicken shredded.
    4
    When cool, shred chicken into pieces.
  • Melted stick of butter in a measuring cup.
    5
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1 stick butter.
  • Melted butter poured into a baking dish.
    6
    Pour butter into 3 quart baking dish.
  • Shredded chicken on top of the butter.
    7
    Spread chicken on top of butter.
  • Flour and milk whisked together.
    8
    In a separate bowl, whisk flour and milk together.

    9
    Carefully pour evenly over top of chicken; scrape bowl.
  • Chicken broth, cream of celery soup, sour cream, and spice mixture poured over chicken.
    10
    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.
  • Chicken and Dumplins baking in the oven.
    11
    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.
