A comforting and creamy dish featuring tender chicken and fluffy dumplings, perfect for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas, then stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer on low heat while you prepare the dumplings.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Once the dumplings are cooked through, remove the pot from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream and use skinless chicken breast.
- Add your favorite vegetables like corn or green beans for extra flavor and nutrition.
