Chicken And Dumpling Casserole Recipe - Comfort Food Meals

When I think of comfort food, few dishes rival the warm embrace of chicken and dumpling casserole. Whether you are settling in for a movie night, hosting friends for dinner, or just trying to whip up something hearty during the week, this dish has your back. But it begs the question: what pairs well with it?
Consider a simple green salad to counterbalance the richness. A crisp mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette is refreshing. Or, go for roasted vegetables. Carrots and broccoli nicely complement the flavors of the casserole, bringing a touch of color and texture to the table. 
Don’t overlook the power of homemade bread—pull-apart garlic bread or buttery dinner rolls will have everyone clamoring for more. And let’s not forget dessert; a fruit crumble, like apple or berry, serves as the perfect sweet ending that feels celebratory yet simple.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup of unsalted sweet cream butter
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 to 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 can of unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup 10 ½ oz
  • 1 cup diced celery

Method
 

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Ingredients
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Gather your ingredients and chop up your celery. This will help ensure that everything is ready for the delicious concoction that is about to unfold.
Step 2: Create the Base
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned Cream of Chicken Soup, chicken stock, and milk. Stir until it’s smooth, then fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken and diced celery. Your mouth will water just from the scent of this creamy blend.
Step 3: Prepare the Dumpling Mixture
  1. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Let’s melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and stir it into the dry ingredients. Gradually add in milk until you have a thick, yet dollop-able batter.
Step 4: Combine and Layer
  1. In your baking dish, pour in the chicken mixture, spreading it evenly. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, dollop the dumpling mixture on top, covering the chicken mixture. This creates a nice dumpling layer that will bake up fluffy.
Step 5: Let it Cook
  1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in your preheated oven for about 30 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden. The aromas will fill your kitchen—a hint of garlic wafting into every corner.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken. It will save you precious time and pack in lots of flavor.
  • Experiment with spices. Feel free to add thyme, pepper, or paprika to jazz it up a bit.
  • Don’t rush the dumplings. Allow them to puff up beautifully by not peeking during the first 30 minutes of baking.
  • Go for quality broth. A rich chicken stock makes a world of difference.
  • Make it ahead. You can prepare this casserole the night before, just hold off on baking until you’re ready to eat.
