Chicken and Dumplings Casserole

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter 1 stick
1 cup small onion chopped
2 ribs celery chopped
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 cup milk 2% or higher
2 cups chicken broth
1 10.75 oz can cream of chicken soupundiluted
salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add chopped onion and celery.
Cook for about 8-10 minutes (until veggies are soft).
I seasoned my veggies with just a little bit of salt and pepper and I just let the butter melt as the veggies cooked.
Pour the butter and veggie mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Add the chicken in a layer on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, combine self-rising flour with milk.
Pour this mixture over chicken (do not stir mixture).
In another small bowl combine the chicken broth with the cream of chicken soup.
Season this with a bit of salt & pepper.
Pour this mixture over the chicken.
Do not mix the layers.
Then bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the casserole is set.

Notes
Serve with a salad and your favorite green vegetable!
