Chicken Stew with Dumplings

I’ve been dying to do a chicken and dumpling dish for a while. Could there be a better time than winter for a true comfort dish?

Step: 1

De-bone chicken and cut into chunks or shred. Set aside.

Step: 2

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery until soft, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons flour and whisk continuously to make a thick roux, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in chicken broth, whisking to remove any lumps. Add 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, basil, thyme, potatoes, and mixed vegetable. Cover and cook the stew over medium heat until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in chicken meat and continue to simmer.

Step: 3

Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; cut in 3 tablespoons butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and dill. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough into the simmering stew. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook until the dumplings are tender, 8 to 10 minutes more.

It means , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really will the burger and should have just pleased it in the first place."

When it comes to dinner , much eat or eating too much of the bad kinds of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a meal that is less than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night snack even closer to sleep .
