CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS CASSEROLE


The secret of this is not to stir anything. That's what makes your dumplings. When you dish it out, you have your dumplings on top. 

INGREDIENTS:
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded ( I use a store bought rotisserie chicken) 
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 stick of butter 
2 cups Bisquick 
2 cups whole milk
1 can cream of chicken soup (the herbed cream of chicken soup if you can find it)
3 teaspoons of chicken granules (I use Wylers)
1/2 teaspoon dried sage 
1 teaspoon black pepper 
1/2 teaspoon of salt or more to taste 

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Layer 1 - In 9 x 13 casserole dish, melt 1/2 stick of butter. Spread shredded chicken over butter. Sprinkle black pepper and dried sage over this layer. Do not stir.

Layer 2 - In small bowl, mix milk and Bisquick. Slowly pour all over chicken. Do not stir.

Layer 3 - In medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of chicken broth, chicken granules and soup. Once blended, slowly pour over the Bisquick layer. Do not Stir.

Bake casserole for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown
