This chicken and dumpling casserole is absolutely one of my go-to weeknight favorites. It has all the goodness of a pot pie but it’s way simpler.

Ingredients
UnitsScale
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4cup chopped onion
1 1/4cups chopped carrots
3/4cup chopped celery
3cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons flour
2 1/2cups chopped rotisserie chicken
1 1/4cups frozen peas
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Dumplings
1cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/3cup milk
Instructions
Sauté the vegetables. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until tender.
Make the sauce base. Add the flour and ¼ cup of the chicken broth. Stir until the mixture thickens, then slowly add the rest of the chicken broth. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
Add the chicken and seasonings. Stir in the cooked chicken, peas, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the chicken mixture into a baking dish.
Prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add the egg and milk, then mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Assemble and bake. Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 8 dumplings total) over the chicken mixture. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown.
