Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

250 grams (1 cup after stirring down) sourdough starter, 100% hydration
140 grams (1 cup) flour
6 grams (1 teaspoon) salt
2 whole eggs
1 whole pastured chicken (4 to 6 pounds)
18 grams (1 tablespoon) salt
7 grams (1 tablespoon) fresh ground pepper
56 grams (4 tablespoons) butter
5 large carrots
1 bunch celery
2 shallots or 1 medium onion
2 to 3 grams (1 tablespoon) dried thyme
12 cups water

Steps:

  • Mix the dumpling ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until well incorporated. Cover the bowl and let the batter ferment at room temperature for 8 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 250℉.
  • Rinse and pat dry your chicken if necessary.
  • Salt and pepper the whole bird, spreading all seasonings evenly.
  • Heat an 8-quart oven-safe stainless steel, enameled, or cast-iron pot over medium heat. Add the butter. Once it is melted and bubbling add the whole chicken, breast side down.
  • Brown the chicken on each side for 5 to 7 minutes (or until golden brown). If the butter is burning, turn your heat down a bit.
  • While the chicken is browning, wash and peel the carrots, wash the celery stalks, and peel the shallots.
  • Cut the shallots into slices and add them around the browning chicken. Stir them occasionally.
  • Chop the carrots and celery into 1-inch chunks.
  • Once the chicken has browned on all four sides, set it breast side up in the pan and add the other vegetables around it.
  • Sprinkle it with the dried thyme and add the water.
  • Bring the pot to a simmer before covering it and transferring it to your oven for a slow 4-hour cooking.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven, uncover the pot, and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Using a fine mesh strainer, pour most of the broth off the chicken into a large mixing bowl.
  • Using two large spoons, gently lift the chicken from the pot onto a large dish. It is normal for the chicken to fall apart - just try to be gentle and lift out all pieces. Gently scoop out the vegetables and place them alongside the chicken or in a separate dish.
  • Strain the rest of the broth through the strainer into the bowl.
  • Add the strained broth back to the pot and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Taste the broth and season with more herbs, salt, and pepper if needed.
  • Using a soup spoon, drop dollops of sourdough dumpling batter into the simmering broth.
  • Cook the dumplings for 7 to 10 minutes, turning them over once during cooking.
  • While the dumplings cook in the broth, arrange your serving dishes. Large shallow bowls work well.
  • Place some vegetables in each bowl, and then pick some dark and light chicken meat and shred it into each bowl.
  • Once the dumplings are cooked, divide them equally into each bowl.
  • Ladle hot broth over the bowls and garnish them with fresh herbs (parsley, sage, or thyme) if desired.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup sourdough starter
1/4 cup oil or 1/4 cup melted shortening
2 quarts boiling water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons shortening, melted
1 (6 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup water
salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 chopped pimiento
2 -3 boned cooked chicken, cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Chicken: Over medium heat add flour to melted shortening.
  • Stir constantly while adding all other ingredients except chicken.
  • Add chicken, pour into a 3-quart casserole dish.
  • Dumplings: In large mixing bowl thoroughly stir together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
  • Combine milk, egg, sourdough starter, and oil.
  • Add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring just till moistened.
  • Drop dough from tbsp into boiling water (dip spoon in hot liquid before dropping dumpling each time to help batter slide right off).
  • Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove with slotted spoon, drain and place on top of cooked chicken.
  • Cook, uncovered in over, at 350º for 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sourdough starter. A healthy, active sourdough starter is essential for light and fluffy dumplings. Ensure your starter is bubbly and doubles in size within 6-8 hours of feeding.
  • Use high-quality chicken broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so using a flavorful one is important. Make your own broth using chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs, or choose a good-quality store-bought broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When adding the dumplings to the soup, ensure they have enough space to cook without sticking together. If necessary, cook them in batches.
  • Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through. Dumplings should be cooked until they are light and fluffy and cooked through. Insert a toothpick into the center of a dumpling; it should come out clean when cooked.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately. Sourdough dumplings are best served hot and fresh out of the pot. Top them with additional herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Sourdough chicken dumplings are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your taste preferences. Whether you like them simple or loaded with vegetables and herbs, these dumplings are sure to please. So next time you have some leftover sourdough starter, try this recipe for sourdough chicken dumplings. You won't be disappointed!
