Time 1h25m

Yield 8

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
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and cook the chicken thighs until the meat is just cooked through. Remove the chicken pieces from the skillet and allow to cool. Using forks, pull meat from the bones and cut into small pieces or shred. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until nicely browned and crispy. Remove strips from bacon grease and drain on a paper towel. Crumble the drained and cooled bacon and set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings.

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.
