How to Make Baked Chicken With Dumplings And Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Brown 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 stalks of chopped celery to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in 10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet. Bring to a simmer then transfer to the preheated oven.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the chicken and soup mixture in the skillet.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
  9. While the chicken and dumplings bake, cook 1 cup of long-grain rice according to package directions.
  10. Serve the chicken and dumplings over a bed of fluffy rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
