Stovetop Chicken and Dumplings is a cozy and comforting dish perfect for any occasion, featuring tender chicken and fluffy dumplings in a savory broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk (for dumplings)
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine the chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and 3/4 cup of milk, stirring until just combined to form a dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- After 15 minutes, check the dumplings for doneness; they should be fluffy and cooked through. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the chicken mixture before adding the dumplings.
- You can substitute the chicken with cooked turkey for a delicious post-holiday meal option.
