30 Minute Chicken & Dumplings (submitted by Kathi Williams)

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cup milk
  • 2 cup frozen peas and carrots

Dumplings:

  • 2 cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1 cup milk

Directions

1. In heavy bottomed Dutch oven or large wide pot, over medium heat, add chicken broth, water, butter and all seasonings. Cover and bring to a boil.

2. Cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces. Add to soup mixture. Stir to combine and cover.

3. In a sealable container combine flour and milk. Seal tightly and shake vigorously to combine well, creating a smooth flour mixture for thickening your sauce. Pour slowly into broth, stirring constantly. Add frozen vegetables. Cover.

4. Combine dumpling ingredients in medium bowl. Mix well with fork. Remove cover from stew and stir well. Drop dumplings into stew one tablespoon at a time (use a 1 tablespoon scoop to make it even easier). Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy! (Makes 8 cups.)
