CHICKEN STEW WITH HERB DUMPLINGS



Chicken Stew With Herb Dumplings image

This recipe was created for Ready, Set, Cook! #9. Comfort food like you don't find much anymore. This recipe is a labour of love, but really worth it, and not as difficult as you might think - just make sure all your vegetables are prepped before you start and it'll come together in no time. The use of coconut milk is unusual, but really delicious. If you haven't tried fennel (the bulb), here's a chance to discover your new favorite veggie! Please note that the recipe is not as high in calories as the nutritional analysis would indicate. The chicken is used in the recipe (after poaching) skinned and the stock is defatted.------

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 (3 1/2-4 lb) chicken, cut into pieces
1 carrot
1 celery
1 small white onion, halved
1 bay leaf
10 whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cups fresh fennel bulbs, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups button mushrooms (cut in half if on the large side)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white potatoes, diced (dice about pea size)
1 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
3 cups reserved chicken stock
2 cups coconut milk (regular milk can be subbed)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1/2 teaspoon fines herbes
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
salt and pepper (careful here, your stock already contains some salt)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 extra-large egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon oregano or 1/2 teaspoon fines herbes

Steps:

  • To cook the chicken: Place the chicken, carrot, celery, onion, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt in a large pot. Add cold water until chicken is just covered and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a bare simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and let cool for 15 minutes. While the chicken is cooling, continue to boil the remaining water and vegetables in the pot. When the chicken has cooled enough to touch, strip away as much of the meat as you can. Return the chicken bones to the stockpot and continue to boil, on high heat, until the stock has reduced to approximately 3 cups. While the stock is reducing, cut up the chicken meat into pieces you'd like to see on the end of your fork. Strain stock through a sieve or colander. Press down on solids slightly to extract more stock. Discard solids (chicken bones and veggies). (the chicken and stock can be cooked up to a day ahead and kept refrigerated). Remove the layer of fat that forms on top of the stock after it has been refrigerated, and discard.
  • Prepare the filling: In a large saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Add the onions, fennel, carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, one minute more. Add potatoes, peas, stock, coconut milk, oregano, thyme (or fines herbes) and nutmeg. Season to taste. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring often (you can make dumplings at this point). Stir in the chicken and 2 tblpss parsley.
  • Prepare the dumplings: Mix flour, baking powder, salt, oregano and parsley in a medium bowl. Combine egg and milk and stir into dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork until a soft dough is formed.
  • Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dumpling dough on the surface of the chicken stew (you should get about 15 dumplings); cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Do not peek - the steam is what cooks your dumplings through.
  • Spoon portions of chicken, sauce, vegetables, and dumplings into soup plates and serve immediately.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH HERB DUMPLINGS



CHICKEN SOUP WITH HERB DUMPLINGS image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 13

Long version:
2 pounds of chicken thighs
8 cups of water
Quick version:
8 cups store-bought chicken broth
1 store-bought roasted chicken (or leftovers!)
Dumplings:
1 cup of flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons very cold butter
1/2 cup of milk
the chopped herbs from above

Steps:

  • Longer method: In a large dutch oven, cover the chicken with the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Poach the thighs about 20 mins. Remove from heat. Pull chicken out of broth. When cooled, shred the meat from the bones and set aside. Return the bones/scraps to the pot- bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and keep the heat low. Simmer for at least an hour, or several hours if you have the time. Strain stock through cheesecloth, return to the pot. Quick version: Put the broth in a large dutch oven and heat over a low flame. Pick about 2 cups worth of chicken meat from the roast. Set aside. Both versions can continue on here: 1 cup thinly sliced carrots (2 carrots) 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery (1 rib celery) 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (2 large onions) Add to the simmering stock and start the dumplings. To make the dumplings: 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Quickly rub in the butter with your fingers and then add the milk and herbs. Stir. To finish: Add the onions and chicken to the soup. Raise the heat a little and drop the dumpling dough into the soup by pulling rough balls from the dough, slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and poke at the dumplings, which should be bopping on the surface, to turn them. Keep the soup at a steady simmer and cook another 10 minutes or so.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and make it more nutritious. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, parsnips, turnips, and potatoes.
  • Don't overcook your vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will make your soup mushy.
  • Season your soup well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some good choices include garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, and bay leaves.
  • Make sure your broth is flavorful. You can use a store-bought broth or make your own. If you're making your own broth, be sure to use a variety of bones and vegetables. The more flavorful your broth is, the better your soup will be.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make chicken soup. Feel free to add your own ingredients and make it your own.

Conclusion:

Chicken soup with herb dumplings is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in about an hour. So next time you're feeling under the weather, or just need a warm and comforting meal, give this recipe a try.
