Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet) and saute onions, carrots and celery until soft.
Add a small amount of unheated broth to the flour and stir until smooth. Slowly mix in remaining broth and add to skillet. Stir over medium heat as the mixture thickens.
Add the chicken, peas, salt and pepper. Heat on low while making dumplings.
Dumplings: sift the flour, baking powder and salt together into a mixing bowl.
Add the egg to the milk and beat until well blended. Stir into the flour until well combined.
Pour the chicken mixture into a lightly oiled or sprayed casserole dish. Drop dumpling dough by spoonfuls onto chicken mixture. (makes about 8 dumplings)
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until the dumplings are golden brown.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
Broth can be canned or made using bouillon. For each cup of broth use 1 cup very hot water and 1 teaspoon or 1 cube bouillon.
I added frozen corn, and a few heaping spoonfuls of mashed potato flakes to thicken the sauce. I also use Bisquick instead of the buscuit recipe, saves time! A little shredded chedder cheese in the Bisquick dough is really good. Great recipe!!

Update: This recipe is just as good with leftover turkey. I was much more careful while measuring the milk for the dumplings, and they turned out fine -- very "dumpling-ish" and tasty.

This was SO good! It tasted like home made chicken pot pie. My dumplings had too much liquid in them, so I will do a bit less milk next time, but it didn't matter for the casserole -- the mix spread out and made a "dumpling crust" across the top, and it was SO GOOD.
Has anyone made this with cooked turkey? I'm going to give it a try after the holidays, with leftover turkey. Update will follow. :-)

Great tasting! I used "veggie" chicken, but would love to try with some white beans next time or veggie crumbles as I am sure they would all be just as good! I did add extra veggies and variety (what was in my fridge).
