Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons butter
2 pounds chicken thighs
8 slices bacon
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 -1 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables, defrosted
1 cup diced cooked chicken breast
1/2 cup biscuit mix (I use Baking Mix Aka "bisquick")
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • In a 1 1/2 qt nonstick saucepan, stir together the flour, sage, thyme and pepper. Stir until mixture begins to brown, watching carefully so the flour doesn't burn.
  • Whisk in the broth and onion flakes, heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly; stir in the vegetables and chicken, bring to a boil.
  • In a small dish, mix together the biscuit mix, chopped onion and milk until well moistened; drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto boiling stew; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Cover and simmer an additional 10 minutes; sprinkle with dried parsley the last few minutes of cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for dumplings, but you can also use bread flour or whole wheat flour for a different texture.
  • Use cold ingredients: The key to light and fluffy dumplings is to use cold ingredients. This will help the dumplings hold their shape when they are cooked.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the dumplings tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Drop the dumplings into boiling stew: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through: Dumplings are done cooking when they are light and fluffy and no longer doughy in the center.

Conclusion:

Dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of stews and soups. By following these tips, you can make perfect dumplings every time.
