Chicken and Dumpling Casserole with Veggies

Teresa Ambra

We loved this sumptuous Chicken and Dumpling Casserole with Veggies! Deboned or rotisserie chicken is added to assorted veggies and a pastry mixture that mocks noodles. Then a can of condensed chicken soup mixed with homemade chicken broth is stirred together and poured over top. Everything bakes up so wonderfully in this spectacular casserole. It is literally, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! My recipe is seasoned with thyme, parsley and rubbed sage which takes a rather bland casserole and flavors it spectacularly!

Chicken and Dumpling Casserole with Veggies turned out above and beyond my expectations. I will say this recipe is a little more involved than some recipes, but the payoff is so worth it. The taste and texture of this main dish are superb.

This casserole makes up about 10-12 servings, and it reheats very well. We were going out with another couple to see God’s Not Dead last Thursday night and so we invited them to eat with us first. Phil had to meet us at the theater because of work, but Linda was able to stop in and eat with us. Chicken and Dumpling Casserole with Veggies was what I reheated in the oven and served the three of us. She loved it too.

All I did was cover the casserole with foil and bake it another hour at 350. It was just as good the second time as the first. The key to this casserole is not to stir anything once you start assembling it. Just pour each layer over the top as directed. The casserole will bake up beautifully.

If you’re looking for an awesome Chicken and Dumpling Casserole recipe WITH Veggies instead of without, then I really highly recommend my version. It’s as tasty a dinner recipe as you’ll ever find – kind of a cross between Chicken and Dumplings and Chicken Pot Pie. It was really yummy. I think you and your family will think so too after you try it.

Chicken and Dumpling Casserole with Veggies is a featured recipe at All Free Casserole Recipes. You can find the recipe here.

I initially posted this recipe in March 2014. While the casserole tasted delicious the pictures were less than optimal. I recently remade the recipe for our Friday night care group (June 2018). It was an incredible hit with everyone. In fact, several people had multiple helpings. I like the fact that this recipe is made in four different layers. None of the layers is stirred together. Then the casserole magically makes noodles as it bakes. Yes, it’s absolutely terrific.

Because I didn’t have regular milk for making the dumpling part I used half-and-half. That made the noodle layer more like biscuits. Everyone loved it as it tasted a lot like Chicken Pot Pie. If you want to keep the texture more “noodle-like,” I recommend using milk or increasing half-and-half by about 1/2 cup to get that texture. Even still, the texture like I made it was incredibly good. If you want a fantastic recipe to try out on your family this one is spectacular.

I originally served Chicken and Dumpling Casserole with Veggies with a side of homemade Boston Market Cornbread. This time I served it with Creole Peas in Cheese Sauce. Oh, yum.

I used these ingredients. I cooked off a whole chicken and deboned it. Homemade chicken broth is in the round bowl on the top right.

Mix flour with salt and baking powder. I used regular UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour rather than self-rising flour which is bleached. I added salt and baking powder to get the same equivalency of ingredients. Stir to combine. Add milk. (I substituted half-and-half).

Whisk milk or half-and-half into flour mixture. I should have increased the half-and-half to get a thinner mixture to make the noodles.
