Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Transfer to casserole dish: Pour this mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

Make the dumpling batter: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until crumbly, then gradually stir in milk until just combined.

Top with dumplings: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the chicken mixture, making sure to cover the surface as evenly as possible. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover completely; the dumplings will expand during baking.

Add cheese (optional): If desired, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the dumplings.

Bake the casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve: Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy this hearty Chicken and Dumpling Casserole that combines comfort food with a touch of homemade goodness!
