Classic Chicken and Dumplings flavor, but in easy-to-make casserole form.
Chicken and Dumplings is classic comfort food. That goes without saying. But this dish takes that classic and mashes it up with another comfort classic – casserole. And it’s a mashup that totally makes sense. See, you get tender chicken in a savory gravy topped with a doughy layer of delight and that’s right in casserole’s wheelhouse. This one happens to be a breeze to make.
