Chicken and Dumplings
RECIPE COURTESY OF KARDEA BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 15 min
Active: 15 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 celery stalks, sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 medium carrots, peeled, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons allpurpose flour
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1/2 bunch fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Dumplings:

1 cup allpurpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Nonstick cooking spray, optional

Directions

For the chicken: Heat a large braiser or Dutch oven over mediumhigh heat and add 4 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until golden, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are coated in fat and slightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and stir until the vegetables are coated. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf and browned chicken, along with any chicken juices at the bottom of the plate. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and simmer until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 45 minutes.

For the dumplings: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using a fork, cut the shortening into the flour mixture. Slowly add the buttermilk, gently mixing to incorporate. Fold in the chives.

Use 2 forks to shred the chicken. When the chicken is ready, use 2 spoons sprayed with cooking spray if desired to add scoops of dumpling dough over the top of the stew, about 1 tablespoon each. Cover and simmer until the dumplings double in size, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and garnish with parsley.
