This savory casserole is one of my husband's favorites. He loves the fluffy dumplings with plenty of gravy poured over them. The basil adds just the right touch of flavor and makes the whole house smell so good while this dish cooks. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
4 cups chicken broth |
1 package (10 ounces) frozen green peas |
4 cups cubed cooked chicken |
dumplings: |
2 cups biscuit/baking mix |
2 teaspoons dried basil |
2/3 cup 2% milk |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt, basil and pepper until blended. Gradually add broth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened; reduce heat. Add peas and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
2. For dumplings, in a small bowl, combine baking mix and basil. Stir in milk with a fork until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls into 12 mounds over chicken mixture.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes. Cover and bake 10 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean. Yield: 6-8 servings.
