Chicken and Vegetables with Herbed Dumplings
- Herbed Dumplings:¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ cup finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives and dill
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¾ cup low-fat buttermilk
- Chicken and Vegetable Stew:4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 pound thinly sliced skinless, boneless chicken breast cutlets
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 cup peeled, sliced carrots
- 1 cup peeled, finely chopped parsnips
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 (6-ounce) container mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1. In medium bowl, make dumplings: Add both flours, salt, baking powder and herbs. Add beaten egg and buttermilk, stirring until combined with dry ingredients. Reserve.
- 2. In 7- or 8-quart Dutch oven, add chicken broth and water. Bring to boil over high heat. Add chicken cutlets, letting them poach in boiling liquid until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use tongs to transfer chicken from broth to small bowl. When cool enough to handle, cut chicken into small pieces.
- 3. Cook vegetables for 5 minutes. Then use a teaspoon to drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into simmering liquid, aiming for 12 dumplings.
- 4. Reduce heat to medium-low so liquid is at a light simmer and cover with lid. Cook undisturbed until dumplings are light and puffy, about 10 minutes. Add in reserved chicken pieces and serve.
