Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, divided
1 small yellow onion, minced
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
2 carrots, diced medium
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups diced cooked chicken

  • Make dumplings: Whisk together 1 cup flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in milk.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or about 10 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through. Undercooked dumplings are doughy and unpleasant to eat. Cook them until they are light and fluffy, or about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the stew hot. Chicken stew is best served hot, with a side of bread or rice.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will give the stew a creamy, tangy flavor.

Conclusion:

Chicken stew with dumplings is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious to eat. It is perfect for a cold winter day or a lazy Sunday afternoon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
