Ingredients

    For chicken stew:
    Meat from 1 whole chicken (can use 2 lbs. breast, cooked & shredded)
    2 c. celery, coarse chop
    2 c. carrots, coarse chop
    2 medium onions, coarse chop
    1 10 oz. pkg frozen peas
    1 T. canola oil
    4 c. chicken broth
    3 c. dry white wine
    3 T. corn starch
    1 t. sage
    1 t. rosemary
    2 bay leaves, whole
    salt & pepper to taste

    For dumplings:
    4 c. AP flour
    4 t. baking powder
    2 t. salt
    2 c. milk
    6 T. butter

Directions

Makes approx. 10 1 c. servings

Dumplings: In a medium saucepan, scald milk & butter. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. When milk mixture is simmering, combine with flour, mixing gently to combine. Turn onto counter and roll to about 1/4". Cut into 1" strips. Lay on sheet pan and refridgerate until needed.

Chicken stew: Place oil in 6 qt. dutch oven. Sweat onions. Add celery and carrots and allow to just begin to soften. Add chicken, broth, wine, and spices to taste. Allow to come to a boil. Thicken with corn starch by making a slurry of the broth. Add frozen peas. Reduce heat and simmer.

Remove dumplings from refridgerator and drop over chicken stew. You may need to decant the broth into a separate container to have enough room. Allow to cook thoroughly in broth, about 10 minutes.

Note: I pre-cook chickens, bone them and freeze the meat for up to 4 months. This makes this recipe a breeze!

Variations: The chicken stew in this dish is very flavorful and versatile. Try serving with biscuits or noodles for a change of pace. This recipe makes a great batch cooking option and can be frozen for 3 months.
