Description
Hearty Chicken and Dumplings is a comforting dish featuring tender chicken and fluffy dumplings in a savory broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and let it heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the broth just before adding the dumplings.
- You can substitute the chicken with turkey or add frozen peas for extra color and nutrition.
