Chicken and dumplings
Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on both sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add the chicken back to the pot, along with the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until a sticky dough forms.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough on top of the simmering chicken and broth mixture. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Taste the chicken and dumplings and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
