Hearty Chicken and Dumplings

A comforting and hearty chicken and dumplings recipe that evokes nostalgia and warmth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Chicken (boneless, skinless, diced)
  • 1 cup Carrots (sliced)
  • 1 cup Celery (diced)
  • 1 large Onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 cup Flour (for thickening)
  • 1 cup Milk or Cream
  • 2 cups Dumpling Mix
  • 2 tablespoons Herbs (like thyme, parsley, or rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the veggies: Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook them for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Introduce the chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Pour in the broth: Once the chicken is browned, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add the milk: Stir in the milk (or cream) and reduce heat to simmer.
  6. Prepare the dumpling mix: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and your chosen herbs.
  7. Combine the mixtures: Gently fold in the milk until you have a sticky dough.
  8. Dollop the dumplings: Use a spoon to dollop the dumpling mixture over the chicken mixture in the pot.
  9. Cover and cook: Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings steam for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
  10. Finish with fresh herbs: Once the dumplings are cooked through, stir in your fresh herbs.
