Chicken and Dumplings With Tortillas
Chicken and Dumplings With Tortillas is a comforting stew featuring shredded chicken and frozen carrots simmered in a creamy broth made with chicken stock and condensed soups. Instead of traditional dumplings, small squares cut from flour tortillas are gently cooked in the broth until tender. The result is a creamy, hearty dish with soft tortilla dumplings that absorb the flavorful broth. Milk added at the end gives it a smooth finish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 oz cream of chicken soup canned
- 1 oz cream of celery soup canned
- 2 cups carrot frozen, sliced
- 2 cups chicken shredded or chopped, cooked
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Place chicken broth into a dutch oven or large heavy bottom pot over medium heat. Whisk in cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in frozen carrots, cooked chicken, onion powder, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring mixture to a gentle boil.
- Cut tortillas into 1” squares, using a pizza cutter, then gently add the tortillas to the soup. Press them down to submerge, but do not stir vigorously as they will tear.
- Once again bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently stir in milk. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- This dish freezes well; use airtight containers or zip-top freezer bags and freeze for up to two months.
- When reheating, warm gently to preserve the integrity of the tortilla dumplings.
