Y’all know I love Chrissy Teigen’s cookbooks. They’re incredibly beautiful and filled with delicious recipes. This one is no exception!
Teigen’s chicken and dumplings recipe involves less time than you think (about 2-2.5 hours total) and creates a flavorful meal that tastes like it has been cooking all day.
I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of her latest cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More. The following recipe is adapted from this book.
You will need:
Whole chicken, broken down into 8 parts
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 tablespoons butter
Half Vidalia onion, diced
1 tablespoon garlic
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 celery stalks, diced
¼ cup flour
Dumplings
1 egg
Splash of whole milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
¾ cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Large pinch of salt
Drizzle dutch oven with olive oil. Layer chicken parts in a dutch oven; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown chicken on medium heat. Add 8 cups of water and the herbs. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Strain broth and chicken using a colander over a large pot. Shred the chicken and return it to the broth. In the dutch oven, drizzle in olive oil and butter. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until carrots are tender. Add ¼ cup flour and cook until it is golden brown. Add the broth and shredded chicken back to the dutch oven. Cook for 20 minutes on medium-low. While the broth simmers, make the dumplings by combining all dumpling ingredients in a bowl and lightly mixing together until dough forms- do not overwork. Using a spoon, scoop dough into dumplings and add to the simmering broth. Once all dough is added, cook- covered- for 15 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through.
Serve right away!
