Steps:
- Heat the chicken stock: Add the chicken stock to a medium pot and bring it up to a gentle simmer.
- Poach the chicken in the stock: Once the chicken pieces are browned on all sides, remove them from the large pot, and turn off the heat. Remove and discard the skin from the chicken pieces and put the chicken pieces into the pot of simmering stock. Poach the chicken in the stock until cooked through, about 20 minutes or so. Remove the chicken pieces and set on a tray to cool for a few minutes. When the chicken pieces are cool to touch, pull the meat off the bones and cut into 2-inch chunks. Set aside.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the chicken pieces with the flour and some salt and pepper, to coat them - it's easy to do this in a plastic food bag.
- Heat the oil in a casserole with a lid. Brown the chicken pieces well on all sides - you'll need to do this in batches. Remove all the pieces to a plate, and tip the onions, carrot, lardons, bay and thyme into the pan. Cook gently for 10 mins until the onion is softened.
- Return the chicken pieces, with any juices that have collected on the plate. Then pour in the red wine, 250ml water and tomato paste and crumble in the stock cube. Add a splash more of water if you need, until the chicken is almost covered. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 20 mins. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 mins while you make the dumplings.
- Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it feels like fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the herbs with ½ tsp salt and some pepper. Drizzle over 150ml water, and stir in quickly with a cutlery knife to form a light dough. Use floured hands to shape into ping pong sized balls.
- Place the dumplings on top of the stew and bake for 20 mins more until the dumplings are cooked through.

Tips:
- Select the right vegetables: Use a variety of vegetables that hold their shape well during cooking, such as carrots, potatoes, celery, and broccoli. Avoid vegetables that tend to get mushy, such as zucchini and spinach.
- Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the stew gives it a richer flavor. You can brown the chicken in a skillet over medium heat or in the slow cooker on the sauté setting.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is a key component of the stew, so use a broth that has a lot of flavor. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a low-sodium broth, you may want to add some salt to taste.
- Season the stew well: Don't be afraid to season the stew liberally. Common seasonings for chicken stew include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
- Make the dumplings ahead of time: You can make the dumplings for the stew ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This will save you time when you're ready to make the stew.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
This 7-Vegetable Chicken Stew with Dumplings is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chicken stew that the whole family will enjoy.
