This <\/em>chicken and dumpling casserole <\/em><\/strong>takes everything you love about the classic comfort dish and moves it right into the oven. You get tons of tender chicken, a creamy base, and soft dumplings. But you skip all the standing over a pot! It\u2019s cozy, filling, and suitable for even the pickiest of eaters.<\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a very specific kind of dinner that happens when no one wants to cook, but everyone still wants something that feels like a proper meal. You know, not something more labor-intensive like a Turkey Pot Pie<\/a> or a Chicken Pasta Bake<\/a>, but not a snack situation either. Something that involves a pan (maybe two!) and ideally leaves leftovers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly where this chicken and dumpling casserole comes in.<\/p>\n

Usually, this involves a stovetop method and keeping an eye on things so nothing sticks or overcooks. My version skips all that hovering by layering everything into one dish, getting it into the oven, and leaving it to do its thing while you get on with literally anything else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The filling goes heavy on rotisserie chicken to keep things easy-breezy. And we\u2019ll be building flavor with onions, herbs, and a creamy base that thickens as it bakes. Then come the homemade dumplings. Dropped right on top, they sort of puff up as the casserole cooks to soak up just enough of that sauce underneath without disappearing into it.<\/p>\n

Between you and me, this chicken and dumplings recipe is one that you\u2019ll end up making once a week\u2026 at least!<\/p>\n

Fresh or frozen<\/h2>\n

To make things easier I often times use Flav R Pac Vegetables Mixed. It\u2019s a 10 ounce bag. You could substitute with fresh, using 1 large carrot diced, 2 ribs celery diced and 1 cup frozen peas. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
