Creamy Chicken Stew Recipe
Description
This Creamy Chicken Stew begins by sautéing onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to develop a savory vegetable base. Potatoes, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper are added before chicken stock and whole chicken breasts are simmered until tender. The chicken is removed, shredded, then returned to the pot after stirring in cream cheese, which adds rich creaminess.
A mixture of flour and white wine is blended in to thicken the broth, bringing extra body and a subtle acidity. Separately, buttermilk dumplings are prepared from flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and buttermilk, stirred just until combined.
The dumplings cook in the stew, rising gently to a soft, fluffy texture contrasting with the hearty vegetables and chicken. This addition transforms the dish into a complete, satisfying meal with both broth and a biscuit-like topping.
Serve this stew warm for a comforting dinner. Its components can be adjusted for seasoning and thickness, and the dumplings provide a pleasing finish that holds well.
