Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
Salt And Pepper
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon ground thyme
1/2 tablespoon ground Turmeric
8 cups low sodium Chicken Broth
1 cup heavy cream
for the Dumplings:
2 cups All-purpose Flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
3/4 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, place in flour and completely coat.
- Heat oil and butter in a heavy-based pot over medium-high heat. Brown chicken all over. This may take you two batches. Set aside on a platter. (Do not cook the chicken all the way through, we just want it browned)
- In the same pot, add carrots, celery, and onion and cook for about 7 minutes until softened. Add thyme and turmeric and stir well to coat the vegetables.
- Add in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer. Add back in the chicken. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, let’s make the dumplings. Combine all dumpling ingredients and set aside.
- Remove chicken from pot and using a fork to remove skin and discard. Shred using two forks, it will be hot so be careful.
- Add chicken back to the pot (this seems like a process but it’s well worth it) along with the cream and stir.
- Drop tablespoon amounts of dough into the pot until all used up. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes until dumplings are cooked through. Season to taste.
- Scoop into bowls and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
