Chicken and dumplings
Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food dish that typically consists of pieces of chicken simmered in a thick broth or gravy with vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions. The dish is then topped with fluffy dumplings made from a simple mixture of flour, baking powder, and milk or buttermilk.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts boneless, skinless or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots chopped
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chicken, chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into the simmering broth. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
- Enjoy!
