Chicken and Dumplings

This is a recipe that I got from The Sisters Cafe. It is fast (if you have cooked chicken on hand) and fabulous. I have tried dumplings before and they are always a little too mushy for me. I liked the flavor of these and they were cooked all the way through. My kids commented that it was a little like chicken pot pie, only better.

Chicken and Dumplings

3 c. cooked chicken, cut into large pieces
½ c. butter
1/3 c. flour
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
3 c. chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup (98% fat free variety works great)

Dumplings:
2 c. flour
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp celery seed
¼ c. oil
1 c. milk

Blend butter, flour, salt and pepper in saucepan. Add chicken broth and cook until thick. Stir in cream of chicken soup and add cooked chicken. Put in a 9x13 pan. To prepare dumplings, mix all ingredients together and stir until moistened. Drop rounded spoonfuls onto chicken and gravy. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes.
