Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the chicken in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat—it doesn't have to be cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the butter and onion to the pot and cook for about 3 minutes or until slightly softened. Stir in 3 tablespoons of flour, poultry seasoning, thyme, and ¼ teaspoon each salt & pepper. Cook while stirring for 2 minutes.
- Gradually add the broth to the pot, stirring until smooth after each addition. Add the chicken with any juices, carrots, and celery. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the dumplings, in a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a fork to mix in the cold butter until small crumbs form. Add the milk and combine with a spoon.
- Remove the lid from the soup. Stir in peas if using. Scoop small spoonfuls of dough on top of the soup to form 16 dumplings. Cover and cook for an additional 4 to 7 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- To thicken further, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of broth. Whisk to combine. Transfer the dumplings to a bowl with a slotted spoon and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering soup until thickened.
