Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Making the Dumplings

  1. 4

    Prepare the Dumpling Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

  2. 5

    Add Dumplings to the Stew

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering broth, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Cooking the Dumplings

  1. 6

    Simmer the Dumplings

    Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and cooked through. Do not lift the lid during cooking to ensure they steam properly.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the dumplings are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley for freshness. Serve hot in bowls, enjoying the cozy flavors!
