Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable or olive oil
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces, about 2 cups
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat, add the oil. Add the onions and carrots and saute for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook just until the chicken starts to brown, but is not cooked through. Add the mushrooms, peas, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Let simmer 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add buttermilk and oil and stir with a fork until mixture comes together. Using a large spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop 8 golf ball size (mold with your hands, if necessary) dumplings into simmering liquid. Cover pan and cook 5 minutes (no peeking!), until dumplings are puffed up and cooked through.

easy, delicious, perfect, melt in your mouth dumplings
This is easy and has great flavor. We have it often at our house.
All in all, I enjoyed this recipe although it was more soup than stew. I also added some poultry seasoning for added flavor as she doesn’t call for any herbs or spices other than s & p. I HIGHLY suggest using homemade stock unless you can find a store bought one with tons of flavor…
This turned out nice. I have never made my own dumplings before and they were very easy to make. I did make a couple of variations though. I cannot eat onions and I don’t like mushrooms so I left those out. I added frozen mixed veggies with my meat instead. I also added a little chicken poultry seasoning to flavor the dumplings a bit. I added thyme to my soup too.
I like recipes that I can alter for my own purposes. This is EASY to thicken up with some corn starch and turn into a stew, but I prefer making it as a traditional soup. Don’t be afraid to be creative with your spices and herbs–forget what a recipe says. I typically use liberal amounts of garlic powder, onion salt, onion powder, and garlic salt to add more flavor (in this recipe and many others). Throw some full garlic cloves in the broth when cooking–then fish them out later so no one gets a garlicky surprise. I also make these dumplings with fresh parsley, chives, AND basil. If you’re finding the recipe blah, those are my suggestions.
this soup was the best everyone wanted seconds! i added 3 chicken bouillon cubes and doubled the batch of dumplings ad made them smaller. my mom and grandma want this every week!
I found this recipe to be good except you need to double the amount of vegetables in it , also it was a very thin stew so I used a little instant potatoes to thicken at the end. The dumplings were very nice.
The “stew” portion was fine. I liked the addition of the mushrooms. The dumplings were very, very sticky and bland.
This stew was very good. I made the stir fry the night before and chopped up the ingredients for it then. I also added 2 chopped up celery stalks and sage (I think that spice goes great with those ingredients) and extra pepper. It was so much better the second day that I suggest making it the night before and heating it up the next day. The dumplings were good, but I think it’d be easier to just buy frozen egg noodles and they would have the same effect. My fiance wasn’t a fan, but he doesn’t like vegetables, so I didn’t expect him to like it.
My family of 6 loves this recipie. To cut down on some time, I buy a Sam’s roasted chicken to use for this recipie. It adds great flavor! I always double the dumpling amount and make them smaller. It is a great winter recipie!
