Chicken Stew

Dumplings

Method

Chicken Stew Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Chicken

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the boneless chicken thighs to the pot, browning them on all sides for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and discard the bay leaves.

Dumpling Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

  2. 6

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick.

  3. 7

    Add Dumplings to Stew

    Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the simmering stew. Cover the pot and let the dumplings steam for about 15 minutes, or until they are fluffy and cooked through.
