Do you like chicken and dumplings? I mean who doesn’t, right?! It’s classic southern comfort food, what’s not to like, lol! Well, I decided to make it in casserole form.

I love this comforting chicken casserole because it is so easy to put together, doesn’t require fancy ingredients, or equipment. Just a few pantry staples needed for this easy weeknight meal. And if you like meals like that then I know you will love this Chicken Pot Pie Soup too!

I decided to keep it simple by using canned biscuits instead of homemade dumplings and a can of cream of chicken soup instead of making a homemade sauce. It also adds a lot of flavor too.

How To Make Chicken And Dumpling Casserole

VEGGIES: Start by sauteing diced onion, carrots, and celery in butter. After the onion has softened a little stir in the garlic and cook for one minute.

FLOUR: Stir in the flour and cook for one minute. This helps get rid of that flour taste.

SAUCE: Stir in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, cooked chicken, and thyme. Bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the biscuits.

BAKE: Pour into a 9×13 baking dish and bake for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly and biscuits are golden.

TIPS FOR COOKED CHICKEN:

You can use whatever cooked chicken you have on hand, rotisserie works great in this recipe. But if you don’t have any cooked chicken no worries here are some options for you.

    I add more chicken but it tastes incredible. It make quite a bit and the base freezes well to make it even easier next time, just wait to add the Biscuits until baking.
