Easy Chicken and Dumplings Casserole

This Chicken and Dumplings Casserole is a simple, no-fuss version of a classic comfort food dish. Using rotisserie chicken, canned soup, and self-rising flour, this recipe is perfect for a cozy meal with minimal effort. The magic happens in the oven, where the dumplings form as the casserole bakes!


Ingredients:

  • Pulled chicken from 1 rotisserie chicken (skin removed)
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (self-rising is a must)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken

  • Spread the pulled rotisserie chicken evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Add Butter and Seasoning

  • Pour the melted butter evenly over the chicken.
  • Season with a little salt and pepper.

4. Mix the Dumpling Batter

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together self-rising flour and milk until smooth.
  • Slowly pour the batter evenly over the chicken in the baking dish. Do not stir.

5. Prepare the Soup Mixture

  • In the same bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup.
  • Slowly pour the mixture over the chicken and flour batter in the baking dish. Do not stir. This step helps form the dumplings as it bakes.

6. Bake

  • Bake the casserole uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dumplings have formed.

7. Rest Before Serving

  • Let the casserole sit for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow the dumplings to finish forming. The longer it sits, the more dumplings you’ll get!
