# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
02 -
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
03 -
2 cups chicken broth
04 -
1 cup self-rising flour
05 -
1 cup whole milk
06 -
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
07 -
Salt, to taste
08 -
Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
02 -
Spread the cooked chicken evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the chicken.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and milk until completely smooth. Gently pour this mixture over the chicken and butter without stirring.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the chicken broth and condensed cream of chicken soup until fully combined. Slowly pour this mixture over the casserole, again without stirring.
05 -
Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper on top to taste.
06 -
Place the casserole, uncovered, in the preheated oven. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, avoid stirring after layering each mixture; this creates distinct layers and a tender dumpling texture.
