When we want the ultimate in comfort food, we make up a batch of chicken and dumplings. The only drawback to a nice pot of chicken and dumplings is the time it takes to cook. That’s why we love this easy-peasy recipe for baked chicken and drop biscuit casserole. It’s done in under an hour and still makes the house smell like dinner’s been cooking all day.
The star of this dish is dense, yet fluffy dumplings that cook up on top of the casserole, absorbing its flavor. The rich gravy is a close second, though! These delicious biscuits are called “drop” because that’s the way they’re placed on the casserole. Try out our chicken and drop biscuit casserole bake for an instant favorite weeknight meal.
