Creamy Chicken Casserole with Cheese & Herb Dumplings
Serving: 5
Ingredients
Casserole
- 1 large carrot, sliced relatively thin
- 2 Tbsp dried peas (or half a cup of frozen peas)
- 1.5 cups of butternut pumpkin, cut in small cubes
- Corn kernels cut from 1 large fresh corn cob
- 1kg skinless chicken thigh fillet, diced
- 1 x 420g can of condensed cream of chicken soup (no water added)
- 1 x cup of soup sachet of spring vegetable soup (dry)
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 cup liquid chicken stock
Dumplings
- 1 cup SR flour
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- 60g butter
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Combine all casserole ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for 4hrs
- To make dumplings, combine the flour, mustard, and herbs in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub in until crumbly. Stir in the parmesan, then make a well in centre. Add milk and use a knife to combine until mixture starts to clump together.
- Gently gather dough together and make golf ball sized dumpling balls (I made 14 ) . Gently drop them on top of casserole, spaced apart, as they will expand.
- Cover with tea towel trick and continue to cook on low for another 45-60mins or until dumplings are cooked.
- Serve with steamed green veg on the side

What can be used instead of. Cream of Chicken Soup (not a fan)?
My husband and I really liked it. Mr 15 ate it, but wasn’t a massive fan of the dumplings. Mr 9 & 10 didn’t want the dumplings but enjoyed the casserole part. I would probably cook it again, but leave the dumplings off the kids plates (more for us!).
Absolutely love this recipe – the different flavour mix with the soups – loads of veggies too – I sometimes add a few extra – and then the dumplings don’’t even get me started – cooked in all the juices but still fluffy – BUT warning you won’t be able to just eat one dumpling . This is a regular in our house and then we fight if there are leftovers who get to take them for lunch next day .
Yum loved this
I didn’t have that soup but used chicken and corn
Was still delicious
Love the dumplings
And I added fresh parsley to them
Will make again 🥰
