Prepare the dumpling dough
Cook the dumplings
Serve
Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill to the dry ingredients for the dumpling dough for an extra layer of flavor.
For a chewier, noodle-like dumpling, roll the dough out on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into strips. Drop the strips into the simmering stew and cook for 10-12 minutes.
Add 1 cup of corn kernels, sliced mushrooms, or diced potatoes along with the other vegetables in step 1 for a heartier stew.
For a lower-fat version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, and use skinless chicken breast.
Chicken is a primary ingredient, providing high-quality protein essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions contribute vital nutrients, including Vitamin A for vision health and antioxidants that support the immune system.
The dumplings and flour in the stew provide carbohydrates, which are the body's main source of energy, making this a hearty and satisfying meal.
One serving of this Chicken and Dumplings recipe contains approximately 910 calories, making it a very hearty and substantial meal.
While delicious, it is a rich comfort food high in calories, fat, and sodium. It's best enjoyed in moderation. To make it healthier, you can use milk instead of heavy cream, increase the vegetable content, and use lean, skinless chicken breast.
Yes, for a quick shortcut, you can use refrigerated biscuit dough. Cut each biscuit into quarters and drop them into the simmering stew. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat. You may need to add a splash of chicken broth or milk to loosen the stew, as it will thicken upon cooling. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the dumplings rubbery.
This is usually caused by one of two things: overmixing the dough, which develops too much gluten, or lifting the lid while they are steaming. Mix the dough just until it comes together, and keep the pot tightly covered to trap the steam needed to cook them to a light, fluffy texture.
