Oh my gosh, this casserole y’all. THIS CASSEROLE! Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. This casserole was knee-slipping, tongue-wagging, sing hallelujah good! I have been singing its’ praises since I made it. I love meals like this! Casseroles sometimes get a bad rap. They aren’t the prettiest things you ever did make but they sure do taste good, huh? This is the food of my childhood right here.
You know where I got this recipe? From that cookbook pictured below. It is The Southern Bite Cookbook and it was written by my friend Stacey Little of SouthernBite.com. Like, I actually know him, know him. We’ve met, hung out and we chat frequently. He’s the kinda fella that when you meet him, you feel like you’ve known him a lifetime. Like he is already your brother, or funny cousin, or that distant relative who you know is from your Momma’s side of the family, you just can’t quite remember if he’s your second or third cousin or someone’s brother? And heck, you don’t really care because you instantly love him and he has you laughing all the time!
I was so honored when I got to see his debut cookbook before it hit the bookstore shelves. I am floored at how well this book is put together. It’s about family. It’s about history. It’s about love. It’s about the food that brings us together. Stacey shares generational recipes as well as some of his newer favorites. All inspired by the southern food he grew up with.
And the pictures of the food. Oh lawdy, the pictures! They are gorgeous! They will make your mouth water. And I have no doubts that when you make the recipes from this cookbook, they will look like this. That Dr. Pepper Cake is next on my to-do list. Just sayin’….
These recipes are not pretentious. I call this honest food. It is the everyday food that we sit down and eat with our families or take to potlucks. The book is broken down into the different meal types (Party Bites, Weeknight Bites, Holiday Bites, etc.) And, I’ll tell you something else I didn’t realize I appreciated until I started cooking from his book, each recipe has it’s own dedicated page. Now, I know this might not seem like much but it’s a big deal when you start cooking and you need to refer back to the recipe. You might have your hand covered in flour and if you gotta flip the page to continue reading, well, let’s just say that can be a pain. And some particular words might be uttered in frustration. You’ve been there, right?
And you’ll notice on the cover of this book, there is no picture of the author. This man is so humble. He really wanted to make this about family, friends, recipes, and the history of those recipes, not about him. He even included recipes from readers of his blog, SouthernBite.com! And ya know, you might see one or two of mine in there too {squealing like a little girl right now.}
So now, onto this incredible casserole I made from The Southern Bite Cookbook. There were so many recipes to choose from that I wanted to share. But I knew this had to be the one. It was truly, truly delicious and my whole family cleaned their plates. It was THAT good! Seriously, you *must* make it. You’ll thank me and Stacey later.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 ribs celery, chopped
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk (2% or higher)
2 cups chicken broth
1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
salt & pepper, to taste
A couple of notes here: This does require self-rising flour, not all-purpose flour. I always keep a small bag of White Lily self-rising flour in my pantry. It’s great for making Cream Biscuits and I don’t need a huge bag since I’m not using it all the time. Self-rising flour has all those leavening ingredients already added to it. Also, I used the Cream of Chicken & Mushroom soup. I loved the added flavor it gave this dish even though no one in my family likes mushrooms. Surprising, huh? But they gobbled this stuff up! I’m sneaky like that.
Also, you can use rotisserie chicken for this to make things easier on you. I got chicken breasts on sale the other week so I bought a bunch. All I did was boil the chicken until cooked, then shredded it in my stand mixer, see HERE on how to do that.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add chopped onion and celery. Cook for about 8-10 minutes (until veggies are soft.) I seasoned my veggies with just a little bit of salt and pepper and I just let the butter melt as the veggies cooked.
Pour the butter and veggie mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Add the shredded chicken in a layer on top of the vegetables. Note: I seasoned with just a little salt & pepper here too.
In a small bowl, combine self-rising flour with milk. Pour this mixture over chicken (do not stir the layers.) In another bowl (I just used the same one that I mixed the flour and milk, less dirty dishes, right?) combine the chicken broth with the cream of chicken soup. Season this with a bit of salt & pepper.
Pour this mixture over the chicken. Do not mix the layers.
Then bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the casserole is set. Everyone’s oven heats just a little differently. It’s just how it goes. My oven has a hot spot in the back right hand side so I always have to rotate my dishes while cooking. So this took about 50 minutes in my oven. I sprinkled with a bit of dried parsley when finished cooking. This step is totally not necessary but it helps brighten up the casserole just a bit. I know my pictures do not do this recipe justice but we absolutely fell in love with it! The flavor was amazing and it was a family-pleaser for sure! Serve with a salad and your favorite veggie.
Enjoy!

Yum! Can't wait to try this. P.S. Here's a tip for making your own flour into self rising flour. No need to purchase a speciality flour.
Self-rising flour:
For every cup of flour add 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt (sift together). There you go, now you have self-rising flour.
I can't wait to try this recipe! Sounds so easy and delicious! Our family favorite is pot roast and noodles over mashed potatoes. Sounds awful but oh, SO good! Definitely a carb overload so we only have it once in awhile.

This book looks fascinating! Would love to win it and the cooker!
This looks outstanding, and I'm making it tonight. I NEVER buy self-rising flour, but it is easy enough to add 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder to a cup of all purpose flour and magically turn it into self-rising. 🙂
My mom's "Sunday chicken" with bacon and cream of mushroom soup!
My favorite meal? Pasta…with anything. Pasta. Yep. Definitely.
We are a bit low keyed, My family like chicken cutlets, mashed potatoes and corn.

I've always loved Mom's Meatloaf…and still make it to this day!!!
We had two favorites one on my Moms side and one on my Dads side. My Dads was a roast beef with Au Jus and Yorkshire pudding. My Moms was Corned Beef and Cabbage with two sides one was mashed turnips and the other was known as Pease Pudding. Just Mashed up yellow split peas cooked. Those are my favorites
Roast beef with potatoes, carrots and onions! Cukes and sour cream! Apple pie for dessert!!

Would love to enter, but Rafflecopter hates me, apparently. Our favorite meal together is pork chop bundles, which I may have made up. (Rafflecopter says I have already entered, which I know I did not. grrrr.)
Stuffed bell peppers or meatloaf
Oh my goodness…my family loves Country fried steak, mashed taters, cream peas and parker house rolls…YUM!

My moms swiss steak!
I love fettuccine alfredo!
MMmmmmmm, this looks delish!! I think that our favorite meal is cube steak with onion gravy, okra and mashed potatoes. I try to make enough for leftover night, but that never seems to happen.
This recipe is so good – it was a huge hit with my whole family – thanks for passing it along!!!
Red beans with sausage and rice.
I can't wait to try this!! It looks super yummy and my son just loves chicken and dumplings.
Our favorite family meal is homemade pizza. We love letting the kids help pick toppings. We make salad to go on the side. Yum!
One of my favorite meals is my Grandma's Chicken Casserole. It's SO GOOD!
Hi Brandie,
So I made this for dinner on Thursday. I thought I messed it up because I didnt completely mix up the broth and cream of chicken soup. It came out more like a chicken pot pie, but it was delicious enough to make it again the next night because we ate all the leftovers. I have since given the recipe to both my mom and brother who have made it and loved it.
I loved my grandmothers cheeseburger casserole…..it was the bomb!
My grandmother's cabbage rolls are out of this world!
We love Chicken Divan. It was my grandmother's recipe. Once, I made it and added noodles (to stretch it)… we called it "Chicken on a Couch with noodles" 🙂
This looks wonderful. We've been eating a lot of chicken lately, and this looks like a tasty and simple new way to try it. MY favorite family food is pizza 😉
Gotta be my husband's lasagna. Maybe because we only have it the day before Easter or because he makes it? Either way Yummy!
I make this sweet and sour chicken from a Disney Cookbook that is amazing served with rice. Has onions and peppers in it.
Any seafood dish is tops on my list. Fried softshell crabs are my absolute favorite!
My favorite meal has always been my Grandma's chicken and dumplings. This casserole is the closest I've ever come to making something that tastes like hers. It is delicious!
My mom's broiled round steak, buttered boiled potatoes and salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. heaven!!
Yum! I am going to have to try this recipe! I'm sure Mr. Stacy's cookbook is full of yummy food!
My favorite meal is Baked Ham and sweet potatoes.
My family love my Fried chicken, chicken dressing, and Hamburger steak and always have to make my potato salad and butter beans and turnip greens.. For dessert, cream of pecan cake , strawberry cake or cheesecake.. I love cooking for them.. I love reading your recipes and trying them.. Thanks for sharing..
Tried this recipe tonight and I hate to tell ya but it was not good and it certainly does not hold a candle to the real thing. My husband even said "please do not make this again."
Sorry I missed the contest. This post just appeared in my blog reader. Odd — a little late. But, that casserole does look wonderful! Does the author have a blog?
I've got the chicken and dumplings casserole all printed out and ready to go! Can't wait to try this.
Thanks for sharing.

Our favorite meal is my son's spaghetti and its even better when he is here to cook it!!
Made this by tossing 3 large bone-in chicken breasts into the crock pot (in the early a.m.) on high for 4 hours then pouring residual juices into a measuring cup. Stuck it all into the fridge to cool for a few hours to cool. Skimmed the fat off the stock and shredded one large breast. Diced 4 smallish carrots, 1 small green bell and 4 celery stalks and sauteed them in 1/4 stick (NOT A FULL STICK — YAY!) of butter. I used 1 C. all purpose + 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder + 1/4 tsp. salt for the dumpling topping and used the stock from the crock pot with the cream of chicken soup. Next time I'll use 1 3/4 C. stock so it's not so soupy. Be sure to go easy on additional salt, even if using low-salt soup. This worked great adding other veggies and would be good with even more: leeks, mushrooms, etc., to "veg it up" a bit. Between 4 of us we killed the entire 8×11 dish — and that was with lots of veggies. I'll make it again, happily. Thanks, Brandie, for sharing the recipe!
i can not wait to try this. it's similar to my grandmother's chicken pie. there are only 3 in my family, though, so this would be way too much food for us. would it be possible to divide this in half, in two square pans, bake one & freeze the other? if that wouldn't work I may cut the ingredients in half & bake in a smaller casserole dish. Thank you for the recipe. My grandmother always made hers w/ French Onion rice & butter beans! Yum! 🙂
Just made this for dinner, it was AMAZING!!! We love chicken and dumplings in our house, and this was a nice change!! VERY quick and easy, we look forward to having it for lunch tomorrow as well ! Thank you for sharing!
I'm not a huge celery fan at all. This recipe looks great though, does the celery cook down at all?
Love chicken and dumplings…
Sounds delicious! I don't make chicken and dumplings (get them at Cracker Barrel instead!) Can't wait to try this recipe!
Katherine
I will try this recipe after my next shopping trip, I do not have self rising flour in my pantry…It sure does sound manhood!
I made this for tonight's supper…and it was so yummy! My husband and I decided we like it better than traditional chicken and dumplings. I didn't have the self rising flour so I made my own with a teaspoon and half of baking soda and a half teaspoon of salt and enough regular flour to make the cup.
Merry Christmas! I just popped this casserole in the oven for Christmas Eve dinner. Tackling the Mac & Cheese casserole tomorrow to have with the prime rib. I can say that this recipe should taste great as I tested each layer as I went & it was really tasty. For some reason everyone posted their favorite meal so ours is salt, pepper & herb crusted tri tip, roasted fingerling potatoes & steamed baby carrots.
One of my favorite meals is slow cooker roast with carrots, potatoes and onions. So good and easy!
Love chicken and dumplings! My mother-in-law made the best. She passed away before I learned to how to make them.
I've got the oven heating up right now for the chicken and dumpling casserole to go in, can't wait to try it. with 7 kids still at home I love casseroles
Made this tonight!!! Everyone devoured it!! It was fantastic!!! Thank you. Will try some more of your recipes.
I love California Chicken! One of my go to recipes!
no comment. quick question.when you put dish in oven,do you cover with foil.waiting for your response.can't wait to make this dish. thanks
You don't need to cover this while baking. 🙂
Sounds good, One question: Does the self rising flour actually create the dumplings? I want to try this for my grandkids and only asked because I didnt see this question asked and the recipe was posted about 2 years ago. Thanks Sherri
It sure does! This is one of our family favorites! Hope your grandkids love it
I made this dish tonight…simple easy as I am watching my two grandbabies and cooking for my family & my in laws every night….It is amazing!! But definitely needs the parsley for some color, Thank you for giving me an easy delicious dish that tastes like I worked all day on it. Blessings!
You have no idea how much this warmed my heart to read! I am so thankful you took the time out of your busy day to leave me such a sweet note! So, so happy to hear this!
This recipe is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing it. I only made one change and that is I used Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup and added a half cup of fresh, sliced mushrooms. Healthy Request has no MSG and is the only type of soup I can use without getting put in the hospital. Otherwise – this recipe is fantastic. I am only one person – so I have 5 servings in my freezer to eat for later meals.
Tried your chicken and dumpling recipe for supper tonight,and it was delicious, will make this again for supper.
This is very close to what us Virginians make! We call it chicken pudding the recipe is from old colonial williamsburg it was a recipe that Thomas Jefferson loved. (I learned this actually at Williamsburg) The only difference in this recipe and the Chicken Pudding recipe is we use buttermilk instead of milk. Now Chicken and Dumplings (buttermilk dumplings) in my all time fave food in this world and none will be better then my sweet little momma’s 🙂
I’m from Virginia and live in Southwest Virginia. I actually grew up near Williamsburg! Where do you live? I have never heard it called chicken pudding though. Love history! Still sounds good 🙂
Is it possible to make in advance and refrigerate overnight or freeze for a later time? Just wondering if that ruins the self-rising flour. Thanks for any assistance.
I don’t thinks this is one I would make in advance. It has the potential to turn “gloopy” if you do. 🙂
Has anyone tried adding to this recipe? And if so did it turn out ok?
Made this last night and it was awesome!! I added 8 petite carrots chopped in with the onion and celery. I used a rotisserie chicken and mixed it into the veggie mixture then followed everything else the way the recipe reads.. hands down an amazing dish ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was great!!! I added frenches fried onions on top and served it with a side of broccoli! Delish! Great comfort food!
Good idea on the fried onions!!
I only made 3 changes. I used Bisquick instead of self-rising flour. Bisquick I always have in my pantry all of the time and never have self-rising flour. I also used Better than Bouillon Chicken Base and Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup. Both of these products have low sodium and no MSG.. It came out great and was ready in 45 minutes. Thanks for sharing. this recipe. I will be taking it to a pot luck next week.
I tried making this but it seems like there was too much butter, I had to cook it over an hour so the butter wasn’t sitting in the middle, or is it supposed to be like that?
I never had much luck making dumplings. I tried the chicken and dumpling casserole and it was great.
So happy you finally had some success – yahoo!
This recipe was so delicious and flavorful. I followed the recipe with a few minor changes…I didn’t have the self rising flour I followed the advice of another commentor to add 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp to regular flour. I added about 6 baby carrots chopped up to the celery and onion mixture and I added a cup of sharp shredded cheddar cheese to the chicken then topped it off with some French’s Crispy fried onions. YUM! Pure comfort food. I will most definitely be making this again.
I am no kind of cook at all so don’t laugh at my question. Does Bisquik and self rising flour work the same way?
Hi Pam – there are no silly questions here! It does actually. The big difference is that Bisquick also has vegetable shortening in it – which makes it simple for making biscuits. So, you would need to add some sort of oil or real butter to self-rising flour to make it work the same way. Does that make sense?
