# Ingredients List:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
02 - 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
03 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 cup carrots, sliced
06 - 1 cup frozen peas
07 - 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
08 - Salt and pepper, to taste
09 - 280 grams cream of chicken soup
10 - 120 milliliters milk or chicken broth

→ Dumpling Topping

11 - 120 grams all-purpose flour
12 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
13 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
14 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
15 - 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
16 - 120 milliliters milk

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 190°C. Lightly grease a 23x23 cm baking dish.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter or heat oil. Sauté diced onion and sliced carrots for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
03 - Stir in shredded chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, cream of chicken soup, and milk or broth. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
04 - Pour the filling mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
05 - In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Cut in cold cubed butter using fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
06 - Stir in milk just until a thick dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
07 - Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough evenly over the chicken filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 28–32 minutes until the dumplings are golden and set.
08 - Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Scoop portions and enjoy warm.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Using rotisserie chicken reduces preparation time significantly.
02 - For variety, substitute cooked mushrooms, spinach, or corn in place of peas or carrots.
03 - For a gluten-free option, replace the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and add xanthan gum according to blend instructions.
