This Chicken and Dumplings recipe is SO EASY to make from scratch if you use rotisserie chicken and store-bought broth! It's a fast, easy comforting soul food to make on busy nights. The fresh thyme in the dumplings sets it over the edge.

Ingredients

  • Pepper

  • Salt

  • 2 cups Cooked diced or shredded chicken

  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon Salt

  • 1 cup Whole milk divided

  • 4 cups Chicken stock / broth

  • 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour divided

  • 1 Onion diced

  • 2 stalks Celery plus their leaves diced

  • 2 Carrots diced small

  • 4 tablespoons Butter divided

Method

  • 01
    Saute the carrots, celery, and onions in 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat until browned and soft (about 3 minutes).
  • 02
    Add 1/4 cup flour, stir to coat.
  • 03
    Add chicken broth (4 cups) and bring to a boil.
  • 04
    Turn the heat down to simmer and add 1/2 cup milk and the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 05
    Meanwhile, to make the dumplings, mix together the remaining 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, melted, until flour mixture is crumbly looking. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and stir until just combined.
  • 06
    Add spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture to the simmering pot- I recommend using a small cookie scoop for this (a tablespoon can also be used).
  • 07
    Cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes, or until dumplings are fluffy, cooked, and float to the top. No peeking!
  • 08
    Serve garnished with extra fresh thyme and fresh ground pepper, if desired.
