Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 5)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
2 cups chopped poblano chiles (from 2 large)
1 onion, diced (1 1/2 cups)
3 carrots, diced (1 1/4 cups)
1 stalk celery, diced (1/2 cup)
8 ounces white potato, peeled if desired and cut into 1/2-inch dice (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/3 cups plus 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup frozen corn
6 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
1/3 cup finely ground cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup whole milk
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, 2 teaspoons salt, and 4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool 10 minutes. Discard skin and bones; shred meat into bite-size pieces (you should have 3 cups). Strain broth (you should have 4 cups; if not, add more water).
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute chiles 5 minutes. Add onion, carrots, celery, potato, thyme, and chili powder. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup flour; cook 30 seconds. Gradually stir in broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, corn, and 3 tablespoons cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1 1/3 cups flour, cornmeal, 3 tablespoons cilantro, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut in remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Stir in milk until dough holds together. Drop 8 heaping spoonfuls of dough on top of chicken mixture. Cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, about 12 minutes. Serve with more chopped cilantro and lemon wedges.

This recipe is a great base, but I would make a few changes next time. I would add more vegetables to the sauce and I would use a different type of cheese.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dumplings were still too dense. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but the dumplings were delicious. I would make this again, but I would use less chili powder.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was just the right amount of heat. The dumplings were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and creamy.

This recipe is a keeper! The dumplings were so easy to make and the sauce was delicious. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and it worked perfectly.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and the dish turned out great. The dumplings were light and fluffy, and the sauce was flavorful and not too spicy. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans.
