CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS CASSEROLE



Chicken and Dumplings Casserole image

This chicken and dumplings casserole is comfort food at its best.

Provided by Henni Bartel

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1 cup sliced carrot
½ cup sliced celery
1 cube chicken bouillon, or more to taste
⅓ cup butter
½ cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
⅔ cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 (16.3 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough, separated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.
  • Combine chicken, carrot, celery, and bouillon in a large pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, reserving chicken and broth in another pot or bowl.
  • Melt butter in the same pot over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot butter for 5 minutes. Stir in flour, poultry seasoning, basil, thyme, and pepper. Stir in chicken broth and milk slowly. Add chicken mixture and peas. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until mixture is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place biscuits on top. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until biscuits are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this casserole. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to shred.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables like peas, corn, or broccoli.
  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through. The dumplings should be cooked through when they float to the top of the casserole and are no longer doughy in the center.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the chicken is cooked through and the dumplings are fluffy. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and the dumplings tough.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best served hot, right out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumpling casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit with the family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your chicken and dumpling casserole turns out perfect every time.
