Broccoli Cheddar Chicken and Dumpling Bake

(14)
"Broccoli cheddar soup, meets chicken and dumplings. But make those dumplings soft and fluffy on the bottom, and flaky biscuit like on top. Lots of melty cheese. This is the definition of comfort food."

ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pancake mix
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3 teaspoons dried chives
  • 1/2 chopped yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 small peeled and chopped carrots
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons gluten free flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 chopped broccoli crown
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan

Method

  • Step 1

    Combine pancake mix, dried chives, and buttermilk in a bowl. You'll end up with the consistency of a sticky dough. Set aside until ready to use. Preheat oven to 350.

  • Step 2

    In an oiled cast iron (or oven safe) pan cook onion to soften. Add dried thyme and nutmeg.

  • Step 3

    Add carrot and garlic, cook until garlic is fragrant.

  • Step 4

    Add white wine, and use wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from bottom of the pan.

  • Step 5

    Once wine has reduced, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for about 2 minutes before slowly stirring in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer.

  • Step 6

    Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 7

    Stir in broccoli, and milk.

  • Step 8

    Fold in shredded chicken, and cheeses.

  • Step 9

    Turn off heat, and use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop on your dumplings.

  • Step 10

    Transfer to oven for 35-40 minutes until dumplings are golden browned on top. Broil on low for a few minutes if needed.

  • Step 11

    ***if your dish becomes especially oily, as some cheddar's will cause... use a brush to paint that ontop of the dumplings, and broil on low for the last few minutes. It will give a delicious golden crust :)
