I’ve always been intimidated by the thought of making chicken and dumplings. It seemed like a lot of work, so when I came across this recipe, I knew I had to give it a try. It was simple and really quick to make. It was fabulous! Chicken Legs especially loved it. I used a rotisserie chicken and this came together in no time. We will be making a turkey version this weekend!
Chicken & Dumpling Casserole
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 3-4 cups of cooked chicken I use a rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Melt butter in the microwave and pour into bottom of a 9×13 pan. Shred the chicken and spread it on top of the butter.
- Whisk together the milk and the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly pour over the chicken. Don’t stir.
- Whisk together chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Pour soup over the flour and milk mixture. Don’t stir.
- Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until dumplings are golden brown.
Notes:
- I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.

I just made this and ALL my family loved it!! Thank you soo much. I just shared it on my blog today!
It actually came out like chicken and dumplings! Good for me, I suck at cooking. I'm surprised!
I just made this but I made a few modifications to make it a bit healthier:
1. I only used 3/4 of the butter
2. I used 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
3. Instead of using all chicken, I used 2 cups chicken, 1/2 cup peas, 1/2 cup celery, and 1/4 cup chopped carrots. I added these in with the chicken at the beginning.
4. For a little more flavor, I used 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in the dumpling batter.
It turned out great and I'm glad I was able to make it a little healthier!
is there anyway to make this recipe in the crockpot? I will be hosting a dinner next month and want to make this for a group of about 10-12
My trick to EXTRA QUICK dumplings is to use frozen biscuits. They have the real lard and are perfect for thawing, rolling in a scatter of flour and 2-4 cuts TA DA!! you're already there.
Love your blog. I just stumbled upon it today.
I'm so gonna try this one!
I'm making this exact recipe right now! I LOVE IT!
Definitely right up my alley.
This is my kind of food… I almost took a bite out of my computer screen looking at these photos. I would love, love, love this.
Major kick butt comfort food here. The sauce in the casserole looks luxurious.
We had this tonight using leftover turkey. I mixed a can of chicken broth with some leftover turkey drippings. YUMMY! When I was in elementary school (back when lunch ladies MADE the food) we had a dish called "turkey in gravy on mashed potatoes". It was my favorite thing, EVER. This recipe was the closest I've ever come to re-creating it.
I made some creamy mashed potatoes to go with it (using cream cheese and sour cream).
I accidentally burned the broccoli by roasting it for too long, but no one seemed to miss it.
Another winner!
We make that a lot every year, we mix 2 parts of gravy with2 cans cream of chicken soup …sometimes throw in a can of cream of mushroom soup…add chunks of turkey or chicken and put over rice or potatos…serve with peas
I'm also a big fan of Mary's site and a big fan of chicken and dumplings. I really like this idea and yours looks mouth watering.

Do you put the baking powder & salt in with the flour? I would think so…
Thanks for sharing ~ sounds delish!
