Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
- 2 sticks celery diced
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 ½ cups half and half
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- fresh parsley for serving, optional
For the Dumplings:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add in the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add in the chicken broth and water, stirring to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the chicken, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and dried thyme leaves.
- Simmer on low for approximately 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken, shred and return it back to the pan.
- Stir in the half and half and frozen peas and allow them to cook while you prepare the dumplings.
For the Dumplings:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and thyme together in a mixing bowl.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk and melted butter.
- Stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop the dumpling dough into the soup. Do not overlap the dumplings.
- Once the dumplings are added to the pan, gently push them down into the soup so that a small amount of liquid covers them.
- Bring the mixture to a low simmer. Cover and cook the dumplings for 15 minutes with the lid on the pan. Do not remove the lid during this cook time.
- After this time, check the doneness of the dumplings by inserting a toothpick into the center of a dumpling to ensure that the toothpick comes out clean. If the dumplings are not done, continue to cook, covered for a few more minutes until cooked through.
- Once the dumplings are cooked through, serve warm topped with parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
