Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion (diced )
2 cups carrots (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces )
1 1/2 cup celery (cut into 1/2 inch pieces )
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp chicken base (I use Better Than Bouillon Brand)
32 oz chicken broth or stock
1 1/2 cup water
1 bay leaf
3 cups cooked chicken (boneless skinless chicken breast and/or thighs, or rotisserie chicken works nice for this recipe.)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup frozen peas
1 tbsp butter (softened)
1 tbsp all purpose flour
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
4 tbsp butter (melted)

Steps:

  • Start with a large heavy bottom pot that has a lid (like an enameled cast iron pot or Dutch oven) over medium heat.
  • Add the olive oil. Once it is hot add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Sauté for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often, so the onions are nice and soft.
  • Stir in the onion powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and chicken base, so it coats the veggies.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, water and add the bay leaf. Give everything a good stir.
  • Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the carrots and celery are just fork tender.Go ahead and make the dumpling dough at this point and set aside until the stew is done simmering. See instructions below.
  • Remove the bay leaf and discard. Stir in the cooked chicken.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the pot to a gentle boil. Drop tablespoons full of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. PRO TIP: Resist the urge to stir the dumplings!!!! They will have a better texture if you let them simmer/steam.
  • Once all the dumplings are in the pot, lower the heat to medium-low and pop the lid on. Let the dumplings lightly simmer for 15 minutes without disturbing!
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl mash together the flour and butter (Beurre Manié) until it is combined. Set aside.
  • Remove the lid and pour in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Lightly stir in the flour/butter thickener. Let it simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes. The heat will thaw the peas and thicken the stew.
  • Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



The Best Chicken and Dumplings image

This is pure comfort food at its finest. Tender chunks of chicken and vegetables come together in a creamy, richly-flavored sauce with pillowy dumplings baked right on top. It's hearty but not too heavy and comes together from scratch in about an hour.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium carrots, halved lengthwise, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 celery stalks, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 medium onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 cup dry white wine
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
1 cup frozen peas
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots, celery, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften but don't take on any color, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter until completely melted. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until it is completely incorporated and a sandy paste forms. Pour in the milk and stir until the flour has been smoothly incorporated into the liquid.
  • Add the chicken and the chicken stock to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and peas and remove from the heat.
  • For the dumplings: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until just combined, then add the milk and stir until a ball of dough forms.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or measuring cup to scoop 10 balls of dough into the pot (about 2 tablespoons each). Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low until the dumplings have puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with more parsley.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (CHICKEN PAPRIKA)



Mom's Chicken and Dumplings (Chicken Paprika) image

This was a staple at our house when I was growing up. My mom made this about two times a month and often had to double the dumplings! Since my mom is not good at exact measurements, I tried my best to recreate this great one pot meal from her verbal instructions. She calls this Chicken Paprika, but I am told it would have to have sour cream in it, and it doesn't, which is fine with me :) ****NOTE 1/15/08: I've adjusted the quantities of salt and paprika because depending on what kind of chicken you use, different amounts of water will be used, needing different amounts of spicing. You may also increase the pepper and garlic, if desired, but be careful as garlic should not be a dominant flavor in this dish.

Categories     Stew

Time 1h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lbs chicken thighs, skin removed (boneless thighs if you can find them)
water
2 small onions, chopped
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon paprika
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg, beaten
water

Steps:

  • In a stock pot or dutch oven saute onions in butter until tender.
  • Add water until pot is about 1/3 full.
  • Add chicken thighs, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Make sure water is covering the chicken, if not add more until it just covers.
  • Bring to a boil and then simmer for 90 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
  • In the meantime, make the dumplings: Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and about 1/2 cup water.
  • Stir and add more water by the tablespoon until you have a sticky dough that just leaves the side of the bowl.
  • In a different large pot from chicken, boil water.
  • Drop dumpling mixture by the teaspoon into the boiling water.
  • (I use a regular teaspoon from my flatware, not a measuring spoon.) If dumpling mix is too sticky to drop from spoon, then dip the spoon into the boiling water, the dumpling should slide right off.
  • When dumplings start floating on top, remove them with a slotted spoon or drain them.
  • You may have to reduce the heat to see when they are floating.
  • About 30 minutes before chicken should be done, add the dumplings to the pot with the chicken.
  • After 30 minutes, you should have a delicious dish: the chicken should be tender enough that it is falling off of the bone and the dumplings should have made a thicker sauce out of the liquid the chicken was cooking inches.

THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



The Best Chicken and Dumplings image

The best things take a little work, and these are SO worth the extra effort. This is one of those recipes that you'll be remembered for long after you're dead! Oh, and go ahead and double the dumplings, because I promise you'll want them. My mom was famous for these, and I can only imagine she'd want me to share this recipe with everyone I can.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large onion, chopped
3/4 cup carrot, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 chicken breasts
64 ounces chicken stock
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon powdered thyme
1/4 cup shortening
1/2-2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon seasoning salt

Steps:

  • Start with the soup. Chop all the veggies.
  • In the biggest pot you have, saute the veggies in olive oil until the onions are soft.
  • Add the chicken broth, the seasoning salt (I like Morton's Nature's Seasoning best) and the chicken breasts.
  • Cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is done.
  • Take the chicken out, shred it, and return it to the soup.
  • Now for the good part: the dumplings. Mix all the dry ingredients.
  • Add the milk, and cut it into the dough until it forms a kind of dry, crumbly texture.
  • Now knead it until it forms a nice dough-y texture.
  • Put some flour down on the counter, and roll the dough until it is really, really thin. This'll take some work. It's fun though. If you're making a lot, or if you're short for room, or if you did as I advised and doubled the dumplings, you'll need to do this in a few batches.
  • With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into little rectangular dumplings about the size of those gummy erasers we used in elementary school. If they don't come out even, you'll live.
  • Drop the dumplings one by one into the soup. Don't stir it for a few minutes.
  • The dumplings will float to the top in a few minutes. If they don't, you probably did something wrong.
  • Simmer at least another 45 minutes, or as long as you like.
  • Put on your fat pants and go to town.
