Notes
- Chicken: You can use either fresh chicken breasts or thighs that you cook and shred yourself, or save time with pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey.
- Seasoning: Don’t forget to taste your casserole mixture before you add the dumplings. It's your last chance to adjust the seasoning!
- Dumpling Size: Keep your dumplings on the smaller side; they will expand as they cook. Smaller dumplings mean more even cooking and better distribution in the casserole.
- Vegetables: Feel free to throw in other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and a pop of color.
- Creaminess: For an even creamier casserole, mix a little cream of chicken soup into the broth mixture. It adds richness and depth to the sauce.
- Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can be added for a fresh flavor boost right before baking.
- Biscuit Dough Dumplings: If you're short on time, pre-made biscuit dough can be a quick and tasty substitute for homemade dumpling dough.
- Make Ahead: You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time when you're ready to cook it from chilled.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
- Cool & Airtight: Before stashing your leftovers in the fridge, allow the casserole to cool completely. Then, transfer the cooled casserole into airtight containers.
- Refrigerate: It will keep well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat: When ready to eat, reheat the casserole gently in the oven at 350°F or microwave. Add a splash of milk or chicken broth when reheating to keep the casserole moist.
- Freeze: This casserole can be frozen for up to a month. For best results, freeze portions in airtight containers. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as above.
