INSTANT POT® CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Instant Pot® Chicken and Dumplings image

I wanted the richness of long-simmered chicken stew, but without the fuss of using a whole chicken. This compromise, using boneless skinless chicken thighs with bone-in chicken breast, gave me the richness of flavor and ease of preparation I was looking for! It's basically chicken pot pie made in a pressure cooker rather than an oven.

Time 50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 23

½ tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced onion
½ cup diced carrot
½ cup diced celery
1 bay leaf
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pound bone-in chicken breasts, skin removed
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup frozen petite peas
½ cup frozen cut green beans
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Pour the olive oil into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Cook onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf until the vegetables are soft and the onion has turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, chicken thighs, chicken breasts, thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the chicken pieces with tongs and place them in a bowl to cool slightly; discard bay leaf.
  • Mash butter with the flour to make a smooth paste; set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl for the dumplings. Cut in cold butter until mixture is the texture of cornmeal. Stir in parsley and set aside.
  • Shred cooled chicken and return to the pot. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add peas and green beans. Stir in the flour-butter paste. Select Saute function to bring broth back to a boil.
  • Pour buttermilk into the dumpling mixture and stir until combined. Drop the dumpling dough by heaping spoonfuls on top of the stew; a small cookie scoop works well.
  • Cover pot with the lid, leaving the steam vent open. Select Slow Cooker function and simmer on Low, covered, until dumplings are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. A skewer inserted in the center of a dumpling should come out clean.

CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH HERBY DUMPLINGS



Chicken casserole with herby dumplings image

Bypass the suet and make lighter dumplings for this family-friendly one-pot stew

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 skinless chicken pieces - a mixture of thighs and drumsticks on the bone, and halved chicken breasts
3 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onions, sliced
2 carrots, diced
200g bacon lardons, smoked or unsmoked, or streaky rashers, snipped
3 bay leaves
3 sprigs thyme
250ml red wine
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 chicken stock cube
140g cold butter, diced
250g self-raising flour
2 tbsp chopped mixed herb - try parsley, thyme and sage or chives

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.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Chicken and Dumplings image

What makes this version of classic chicken and dumplings extra delicious is its long and slow simmer time. While this chicken and dumplings recipe will take about three hours to cook, everything comes together in a single Dutch oven, meaning this one-pot meal will require little clean-up afterwards. The chicken, celery, carrot, onion and parsley in this dish makes for a meaty, flavorful slow-cooked broth. Using Original Bisquick™ mix to make quick dumplings not only saves time but also produces light, fluffy dumplings for the topping. Use this beloved dish as the perfect excuse to gather around the table to make new memories with your family.

1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb)
2 medium stalks celery (with leaves), cut up (about 1 cup)
1 medium carrot, sliced (1/2 cup)
1 small onion, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
5 cups water

Steps:

  • Remove and discard excess fat from chicken. In 4-quart Dutch oven, place chicken, giblets (except discard liver) and neck. Add celery, carrot, onion, parsley, salt, pepper and water. Cover; heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer about 2 hours or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F).
  • Remove chicken and vegetables from Dutch oven. Discard giblets and neck. Skim 1/2 cup fat from broth; reserve. Transfer broth to large bowl; reserve 4 cups (reserve remaining broth for another use).
  • In Dutch oven, heat reserved 1/2 cup fat over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Bisquick™ mix. Cook and stir until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in reserved 4 cups broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Add chicken and vegetables; reduce heat to low. Heat about 20 minutes or until hot.
  • In medium bowl, stir remaining 2 cups Bisquick™ mix and the milk with wire whisk or fork until soft dough forms. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto hot chicken mixture (do not drop directly into liquid). Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Brown the chicken before adding it to the stew. This will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice golden color.
  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and high in flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through before serving. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of a dumpling. If it comes out clean, the dumpling is done.

Chicken stew with dumplings is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chicken stew with dumplings that your whole family will love.
