Dumplings and Filling

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Roast the Mushrooms

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the sliced mushrooms on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sweet Potato Dumplings

    In a pot, boil sweet potatoes until tender. Drain and mash. In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add milk and melted butter, mixing until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken and Onions

    In a large pot, sauté the diced Vidalia onions in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Add the shredded chicken and stir until heated through.

  4. 4

    Combine with Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Season with black pepper.

  5. 5

    Add Dumplings

    Drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato dumpling mixture into the simmering broth. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through.

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Gently stir in the roasted mushrooms and serve hot.
