Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup milk
  2. 2 large eggs
  3. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  4. 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  6. 5 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  7. 1 cup half-and-half
  8. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  9. 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  10. 1 bay leaf
  11. 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken
  12. 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, such as peas, carrots and corn
  13. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. In a separate bowl, sift together the baking powder, 1 1/2 cups of the flour and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined, being careful not to overmix. Set the dumpling batter aside.
  2. In a medium pot, combine the stock, half-and-half, pepper, thyme, bay leaf and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. In a small dish, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons flour with 1/4 cup water. Whisk the flour mixture into the chicken stock mixture. Add the chicken and mixed vegetables and return to a boil. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop scoops of the dumpling batter into the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook an additional 10 minutes. Garnish each serving with fresh parsley.

I just use the dumpling part of this recipe, I have my own way of making the rest. My husband is picky. I’m from WV, too, so a lot of Katie’s recipes hit home.

In the video it says 11/2 tsp salt but the receipe says only 1 tsp salt in dumplings, they really need the extra half tsp seemed a little runny

Gay S, it’s 10 and 20 minutes
Isaiah Ramirez
In video you sd to cook uncovered for 10 min and covered for 20 more minutes. The written instructions say 10 uncovered and 10 covered. Which is it?

I added a handful of poultry seasoning. I’ve never been able to make dumplings before this!! I’ve made them several time & always came out tasting like my Grandma’s. I made my own chicken – simmering in chicken broth & then used that broth for the dumplings.

This was a miss for us… I made exactly as the recipe indicated, and also used a dutch oven as Katie did on the show. The tops of my dumplings did not get brown as hers did, and this was bland…

Not inedible – but we did not save these leftovers.
