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.
