Easy Casserole Recipe

The great thing about this recipe is there are no dumplings to make. The dumplings make themselves. If you’ve ever made a Peach Cobbler recipe like this one, it’s the same concept. Arrange the chicken in a casserole dish and then pour a liquid mixture over it. The dumplings form themselves as the casserole bakes. You won’t have actual physical dumplings but the top layer will have the taste and texture of dumplings.

Chicken and Dumpling Casserole Recipe Tips

• Use rotisserie chicken to make this casserole quick and easy. You’ll need about 4 cups of chicken, but as little as 3 cups will work. If you don’t want to use rotisserie chicken, you can cook some chicken in the crock pot to use.
• Be sure to use self-rising flour which already has leavener added. Regular all-purpose flour will not work.
• Cook the onion and celery long enough to get them soft. You don’t want the celery to be crunchy in the casserole.
• Cream of Mushroom Soup or Cream of Celery Soup can be used instead of Cream of Chicken.
• If you like peas in casseroles, try adding 1/2 cup to 1 cop of frozen, defrosted peas to the casserole. You could also add a little carrot in with the onion and celery.
• When you add the milk mixture and the soup mixture, DO NOT STIR.
