HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS CASSEROLE:
Preheat oven to 350F levels. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a small skillet over medium warmth, soften the butter and add chopped onion and celery. Prepare dinner for about 8-10 minutes (till veggies are comfortable.) I seasoned my veggies with just a bit little bit of salt and pepper and I simply let the butter soften because the veggies cooked.
Pour the butter and veggie combination into your ready baking dish. Add the shredded hen in a layer on high of the greens. Notice: I seasoned with just a bit salt & pepper right here too.
In a small bowl, mix self-rising flour with milk.

Then bake till the casserole is about (about 45 minutes or so). Sprinkle with a little bit of dried parsley when completed cooking.
