Chicken and Dumpling Casserole Recipe

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ¾ cup chopped onion
• 1 ¼ cups chopped carrots
• ¾ cup chopped celery
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 ½ cups chopped rotisserie chicken
• 1 ¼ cups frozen peas
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Dumplings-

• 1 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until tender. Add the flour and ¼ cup of the chicken broth. Stir until the mixture thickens and then slowly add the rest of the chicken broth. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken, peas, salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the chicken mixture into a baking dish.
• To prepare the dumplings—in a medium bowl add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until well combined. Add egg and milk and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Drop the dough over the chicken mixture with a spoon (the dough will make about 8 dumplings).
• Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the dumplings are golden brown.
