Chicken & Dumplings In A Pot
Chicken & Dumplings In A Pot is a delicious and comforting dish typically made by cooking chicken, vegetables, and seasonings in a pot until the chicken is tender and flavorful. The dumplings, made from a simple mixture of flour, baking powder, milk, and butter, are dropped into the simmering broth and cook until fluffy and cooked through.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter divided
- 1 small yellow onion diced fine
- 1 stalk celery thinly sliced
- 1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour divided
- 1 qt. low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 6 oz. frozen Italian green beans
- 6 oz. frozen peas & carrots
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus additional to garnish
- 1/2 cup milk preferably whole
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 oz. frozen peas & carrots
Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons butter and heat until melted. Add onion and celery and cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of flour. Cook stirring constantly to cook out the raw flour taste, approximately one minute. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken and green beans and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add frozen peas and carrots and simmer for 5 minutes
- While the soup is simmering, whisk remaining flour, baking powder, salt to taste and fresh parsley in a medium bowl.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, using a fork to cut it into the flour mixture. Stir in milk.
- Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop batter over simmering chicken mixture.
- Cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, approximately 12-15 minutes depending on size.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with additional chopped parsley.
- Enjoy!

Notes
When storing any leftover soup, remove the dumplings from the soup and store the two in separate containers. A quick shortcut is to use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables in place of the sliced carrots and green beans.
Note: Be sure to cover the soup while simmering so that the dumplings steam. This keeps them light and fluffy.
