Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store the leftovers?

This chicken and dumpling casserole can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To keep it longer, you can freeze it tightly wrapped for 2 months.

Can this casserole be made ahead?

For this particular casserole, we don’t recommend making it ahead. The layering that you do will create the crust on top. If you make it ahead, the ingredients run the risk of settling and your “dumpling topping” will not be on top! As stated it the recipe, make sure not to stir!
