Delicious Chicken and Dumplings

Super simple and, best of all, delicious — just what you need! A shopper asks the poultry seller:

  • How many chickens do you have in all?
  • Six.
  • Pick out the three oldest ones! The seller quickly and happily sets aside three birds.
  • Shall I wrap these up for you, ma'am?
  • No! I'll take the other three!

  • Use fresh chicken legs — and if you don't have legs on hand but do have fresh breasts, go ahead and use those. Cut the chicken into pieces, dredge them in flour, and brown over medium heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot, add the chicken, and cook, stirring, for 3–5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Lower the heat, add the remaining oil, then add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion along with the seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 5–7 minutes. Sprinkle the vegetables with the remaining flour and stir until it comes together. Now add the pre-made chicken broth, water, peas, and the reserved chicken.
  • Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. We still need to make the dumplings. While the chicken simmers, stir together the flour, seasoning, baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt, then mix in the milk last. Drop the batter by the tablespoonful into the pot with the chicken — you should get about 18 dumplings. Keep cooking over low heat until the dumplings are done, about 15 minutes. And your dish is ready!
