Description
A comforting recipe for Chicken and Dumplings that combines tender chicken, vegetables, and fluffy dumplings in a savory broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk (for dumplings)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt for the dumplings. Add the melted butter and 1/2 cup of milk, stirring until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- After 15 minutes, check the dumplings for doneness; they should be fluffy and cooked through. Serve hot.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
- You can customize the dumplings by adding herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
