Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 rotisserie chicken (white and dark meat shredded and skin removed)
  • 12 oz frozen mirepoix blend (celery, carrots and onion)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup

Dumplings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables and Seasonings: In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, melt the two tablespoons of butter. Add the frozen mirepoix blend, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, one teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Simmer Chicken and Broth: Stir in the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and the shredded rotisserie chicken. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  3. Prepare Dumpling Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and remaining teaspoon of salt. In a separate smaller bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the whole milk and melted butter. To help combine and slightly warm the mixture, microwave it briefly after mixing. Pour the milk and butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until a smooth ball of dough forms.
  4. Add Dumplings to Stew: Using a 1.5 tablespoon capacity cookie scoop, drop the dumpling dough one at a time into the simmering stew. The dough should make approximately 15 dumplings.
  5. Cook Dumplings: Cover the pot and allow the dumplings to cook without uncovering on a low simmer for 25 minutes. This ensures the dumplings steam perfectly and cook through.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, serve the Chicken and Dumplings immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Do not uncover the pot while dumplings are cooking to allow them to steam properly.
  • You can use any shredded cooked chicken if rotisserie chicken is not available.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt and pepper.
  • For a lighter version, substitute low-fat milk and use less butter.
  • The mirepoix blend can be fresh if preferred, but frozen works well for convenience.
