  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

  6. Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough over the chicken mixture, covering the surface as evenly as possible.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the dumplings are golden and cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

For extra flavor, serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance out the richness.
