Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, peeled and diced (8 oz.)
1 green bell pepper, rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and diced
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
3 lbs skinless chicken thighs
1 (15 ounce) can fat-skimmed chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno chilies
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Pour oil into a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat; when hot, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic and stir often until limp, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Rinse chicken. Add broth, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, and chicken to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone (cut to test), about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and jalapeƱos. In a small bowl, whisk butter into milk; stir into flour mixture until well blended. Drop batter in tablespoon portions into simmering chicken mixture; cover and simmer gently until dumplings are cooked all the way through (cut to test), 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Ladle chicken, dumplings, and sauce equally into wide, shallow bowls and serve immediately.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the dumplings were a bit bland.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much chili powder. Otherwise, it was very good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dumplings turned out dense and heavy. Not sure what I did wrong.
