How To Make slow cooker chicken stew with herbed dumplings

  • 1
    In a bowl or plastic bag, combine flour, salt and pepper. In batches, add chicken pieces to flour mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 8-10 minutes or until brown on all sides. Set aside.

  • 3
    Pour 1/2 cup stock into skillet and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Pour pan juices into slow cooker along with remaining stock. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-6 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hour, until vegetables are tender and stew is bubbling. Add peas and stir gently to combine.

    In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, rosemary and salt. In a measuring cup combine milk and egg. Mix well and add to flour mixture. Stir with a fork to make a lumpy dough (do not overmix - lumps are okay). Drop dumpling mixture over chicken pieces. Cover and cook on HIGH for 25-30 minutes or until tester inserted in center of dumpling comes out clean. Serve garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
