How To Make chicken and dumplings
-
Step 1Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides. Plate the chicken.
-
Step 2Add the onion, celery, and carrots to the skillet and cook until the onions and celery are tender, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, onion powder, thyme, rosemary and marjoram. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
-
Step 3Add the chicken broth (reserve ½ cup) and the chicken to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it.
-
Step 4Mix the cornstarch with the reserved chicken broth and stir it into the soup. Simmer the soup for a few minutes. Add the shredded chicken and peas to the pot. Slowly stir in the cream.
-
Step 5Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter. Add the milk and stir just until combined. Drop by small spoonfuls into the simmering stew. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid.
