Dumplings

Chicken and Vegetables

Method

Dumpling Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk and melted butter. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

  3. 3

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the chicken and vegetables.

Chicken and Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Sauté Chicken

    In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned. Remove chicken and set aside.

  3. 6

    Cook Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced onion, chopped celery, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  4. 7

    Add Broth and Chicken

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken thighs to the pot and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Allow to simmer for another 10 minutes.

  5. 8

    Add Dumplings

    Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough over the simmering chicken and vegetables. Make sure to leave space between each dumpling.

  6. 9

    Bake

    Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed and golden brown.

  7. 10

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
