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.

This recipe is delicious! plus it's way faster and easier than making chicken and dumplings from scratch like i usually do when i make it, which doesn't happen very often b/c of the amount of work it takes. My husband was very surprised and said it tastes almost just like the made from scratch kind when takes all day to make.
What size can of cream of chicken soup do you use?
10.75oz can
My family devoured this. It was FANTASTIC!!!!! I will have to double this recipe next time. I did my chicken breast in the crockpot while gone for the day and when we got home, it took minutes to whip it together. So So good!
Loved it! I was a little nervous when I poured the soup/broth mixture over, b/c it looked like a lot of liquid, but it came out great. My husband even liked it – and he's not a chicken fan.
Tried this out for dinner tonight – came out perfect and delicious!
I made this for dinner and OMG! It was delicious! It reminded me of the chicken and dumplings my grandma made when I was a kid. My picky daughter even loved it! I served ours er egg odles. Great recipe!
Sarah – great idea serving this over egg noodles. So glad you liked it!
My dumplings didn't turn out.:( They were raw, lumpy, white chunks and I've had it in the oven for an hour. Bummer.
I made this tonight. It wasn't our favorite but hey you won't know unless you try it! Thanks for the recipe!
Well then, Iamwellloved you didn't really make the recipe. I try to judge reviews by who has actually made the recipe. I have this in the oven right now and it smells wonderful!
Sounds and looks amazing!
I made this tonight for the boyfriend and kids. Everyone cleaned their plates and enjoyed it. The boyfriend even asked for lots more! Success 🙂
Very very good. My family loved it. Even my picky teenage grandkids.

I love the rolled thin dumplings and have been using tortillas to make mine, but I do want to try this. Instead of buying a rotisserie chicken, I'll use the chicken that I make the broth with. And, I'll use self-rising flour instead of plain flour with baking powder. Hopefully, it'll work in a similar manner. (Money's tight, so I need to use what's on hand.)
I made this the other night . it was so delicious we loved it . I will definitely make it again . thank you so much -nina
Hello!
This looks delicious, and even I don't like using canned soup I do so on occasion.
This is one of the occasions.
Could you tell me the url for Mary's site?
Have a Joyful Day :~D

Hoping to make this tomorrow!
