Chicken and Dumplings Recipe | Epicurious.com image

This old-fashioned winter dish is the soup equivalent of a hot toddy. Use a wide pot so the dumplings don't stick together.

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (3-pound) chicken, cut into pieces
1/4 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 stalks celery, cut into large chunks
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup coarsely ground cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a wide, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the olive oil.
  • Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour, then brown them in the oil over medium heat, about 2 minutes a side. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the pot and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the carrots, celery, bay leaf, thyme, turmeric, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Stir in the broth.
  • Return the chicken to the pot, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the first five dumpling ingredients.
  • Add the cream and mix until just combined.
  • Drop about 12 heaping tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into the pot. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes more.
  • To serve, scoop the dumplings and chicken into bowls, then cover with broth. Garnish with the parsley.
  • TIP
  • For quicker dumplings, mix 1 egg with 1/2 cup milk, then add the mixture to 1 1/2 cups Bisquick and stir to combine.
