Chicken and Dumplings

 


For tips on this dish, I called my mom, who ended up giving me my grandma's recipe. It's as hand-me-down as it comes, and it instantly made me think of my childhood. This easy recipe is perfect on a cold night and simple enough to make when you don't feel like making anything. If you want an even easier route, we have the perfect slow-cooker version, too!

1 tsp. dried oregano

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 cloves garlic, minced

6 c. low-sodium chicken broth

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 large egg

1. Make soup: In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook until tender, 5 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 

2. Add broth, chicken, and thyme to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10 minutes. Remove chicken and shred with two forks. 

3. While soup is simmering, make dumplings: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the flour and add egg, buttermilk, and melted butter and whisk with a fork until combined. 

4. Add shredded chicken and heavy cream to pot, then return to a simmer. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling mix into pot, cover and cook on low until dumplings are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
