Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 chicken drumsticks
2 chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
3 carrots, peeled and cut into coins
½ large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can water
Dumplings:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Liberally season chicken drumsticks and thighs with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet. Sear until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and allow to cool. Bone chicken, discarding any skin and bones.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and turn heat to medium. Add carrots, onion, and celery and saute until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup flour until incorporated and slightly mushy. Whisk in chicken broth and water until smooth, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan. Add chicken meat and bring to a simmer. Cook until carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together flour, baking powder, parsley, salt, and pepper for dumplings in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until smooth. Drop batter by spoonful on top of broth, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, about 10 minutes more.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this is a great way to use them up. The dumplings are also a great way to use up leftover biscuits.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The dumplings are so delicious and the chicken is cooked to perfection. I like to make a big batch of this and freeze it for later. It's a great meal to have on hand when I'm short on time.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The dumplings were a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll try rolling them out thinner next time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I like to add some extra spices to give it more flavor.

I'm a vegetarian, but I love this recipe. I just substitute tofu for the chicken and it turns out great.
