Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 5)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
2 cups chopped poblano chiles (from 2 large)
1 onion, diced (1 1/2 cups)
3 carrots, diced (1 1/4 cups)
1 stalk celery, diced (1/2 cup)
8 ounces white potato, peeled if desired and cut into 1/2-inch dice (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/3 cups plus 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup frozen corn
6 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
1/3 cup finely ground cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup whole milk
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, 2 teaspoons salt, and 4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool 10 minutes. Discard skin and bones; shred meat into bite-size pieces (you should have 3 cups). Strain broth (you should have 4 cups; if not, add more water).
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute chiles 5 minutes. Add onion, carrots, celery, potato, thyme, and chili powder. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup flour; cook 30 seconds. Gradually stir in broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, corn, and 3 tablespoons cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1 1/3 cups flour, cornmeal, 3 tablespoons cilantro, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut in remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Stir in milk until dough holds together. Drop 8 heaping spoonfuls of dough on top of chicken mixture. Cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, about 12 minutes. Serve with more chopped cilantro and lemon wedges.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium carrots, halved lengthwise, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 celery stalks, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 medium onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 cup dry white wine
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
1 cup frozen peas
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots, celery, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften but don't take on any color, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter until completely melted. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until it is completely incorporated and a sandy paste forms. Pour in the milk and stir until the flour has been smoothly incorporated into the liquid.
  • Add the chicken and the chicken stock to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and peas and remove from the heat.
  • For the dumplings: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until just combined, then add the milk and stir until a ball of dough forms.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or measuring cup to scoop 10 balls of dough into the pot (about 2 tablespoons each). Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low until the dumplings have puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with more parsley.

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 pounds cut up chicken pieces
4 cups chicken stock
2 onions, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 teaspoons salt
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • To Prepare Dumplings: In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup flour, remaining salt and baking powder and mix all together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and mix. In 6 large spoonfuls, drop dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.
  • To Make Gravy: Remove chicken and dumplings to a large serving bowl. Cover and set aside, keeping warm. Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing out any 'veggie liquid'. Return stock to pot. Combine water with remaining flour, then stir into the strained stock. Bring all to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken. Return chicken and dumplings to pot, combing all gently. Serve with remaining parsley.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dumplings the best flavor. If possible, use organic, free-range chicken and cilantro.
  • Seasoning is Key: Don't be afraid to season your dumplings generously. A good balance of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will go a long way.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the Dumplings in a Well-Seasoned Pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the dumplings from sticking. Use a heavy-bottomed pan to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the Dumplings in Batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the dumplings. Cook them in batches to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the Dumplings with a Dipping Sauce: A simple dipping sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil is a great way to add extra flavor to the dumplings.

Conclusion:

Chicken and cilantro dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
