Chicken Casserole w/ Cilantro Dumplings from Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy Cookbook




For this past Christmas, my husband gave me Gordon Ramsay Makes It Easy cookbook. I find Gordon Ramsay to be a very curious man. He has a temper to boot and a mouth that my children should never be around for fear of what they may repeat, but his dishes always look superb and mouth watering. I'm pretty sure I'd never want to have to work for him. Either my own sometimes sassiness would get me in trouble or I'd simply feel terrible every time I'd make a mistake. With that being said (or written in this case) I've enjoyed perusing through my new cookbook and there are plenty of recipes I hope to share, however the first one I was drawn to was his Chicken Casserole, mostly because, as I mentioned in my Roasted Beef Stew post, I've been on a one pot meal kick. Especially the ones that leave me with leftovers for dinner on another night and this dish did just that.

I've made this recipe several times now and there's only one thing I'd change. I don't believe the dumplings are necessary. My husband and I both preferred a couple slices of fresh baked sourdough bread for sopping up the liquid, the dumplings were just a bit too much and don't store well if you want to have leftovers.
