Steps:
- For chicken stew:
- Crisp bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Place flour in a shallow bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Working in batches, cook chicken, skin side down, in same pot over medium heat until deep golden brown and crisp (do not turn), 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Working in 2 batches, cook mushrooms in same pot, seasoning with salt and pepper and stirring occasionally, until brown, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add onion and garlic to pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent, 5-8 minutes.
- Add wine to pot; simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, bacon, thyme, bay leaves, and broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and gently simmer, partially covered, skimming occasionally, until chicken is falling off the bone, 2-2 1/2 hours. Add mushrooms and simmer until flavors meld, 10-15 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- For dumplings and assembly:
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Whisk flour, baking powder, nutmeg, pepper, and 3/4 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in eggs and milk (batter will be slightly lumpy). Reduce heat until water is at a strong simmer. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into water; cook until dumpling are cooked through and doubled in size, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; add to stew just before serving.
- DO AHEAD: Stew (without dumplings) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

MUSHROOMS AND DUMPLINGS
This hearty vegetarian riff on chicken and dumplings uses meaty fresh mushrooms and concentrated dried mushrooms to quickly build layers of rich flavor. Dried shiitakes, normally rehydrated before using, are grated into a fine powder that dissolves and fortifies the broth with intense mushroom umami. Make the dumpling mixture while the stew cooks and allow it to rest in the fridge for more tender dumplings. Once simmered, they emerge light and spongy on the outside, and slightly chewy on the inside. To get vegetarian recipes like this one delivered to your inbox, sign up for The Veggie newsletter.

Steps:
- Prepare the mushrooms: In a large Dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add fresh mushrooms, carrots, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in grated shiitake powder and flour until mushrooms are evenly coated, about 1 minute. Add broth, 2 cups of water and thyme, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes longer. Discard thyme sprigs, and stir in cream.
- As the mushrooms simmer, make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, black pepper and baking soda until well combined. In a small bowl, whisk egg, milk and butter until well blended, then add to dry mixture and fold just until a dough forms. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Drop 12 equal spoonfuls of the dough into the pot, leaving some space in between. Cover and simmer gently over low heat until dumplings are puffed and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with chives.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
On Sundays, Mom set our big round oak table with a snowy white cloth and her fine dishes and tableware. On the old wood stove, pushed way back to simmer slowly, was a big pot of chicken and dumplings from scratch in a thick gravy. I can still taste it. -Willa Govoro, St. Clair, Missouri

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:
- Bring broth and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add chicken and poach at a bare simmer until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Reserve 3 1/2 cups poaching liquid.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs with 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. Stir in flour, dill, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until just combined (do not overmix).
- Cook mushrooms and garlic in remaining tablespoon butter with 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in medium saucepan, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add reserved poaching liquid and bring to a simmer.
- Drop batter by tablespoons into simmering liquid, spacing dumplings evenly. Simmer, covered, until dumplings are puffed and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Slice chicken and add to soup, submerging it, then cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
Tips:
- To make sure the dumplings are cooked through, drop a small spoonful of batter into the boiling broth. If it floats to the top and stays there, the dumplings are done.
- If you don't have any mushrooms on hand, you can substitute another vegetable, such as carrots, celery, or peas.
- To make the dumplings ahead of time, simply shape them and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to use, thaw the dumplings overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Simply shred the chicken and add it to the soup.
- If you like a thicker soup, you can add more flour to the dumpling batter. Just be sure to add it gradually, so that the batter doesn't become too thick.
