Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 4 celery stalks, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
-
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the chicken pieces and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, salt, and pepper. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Knead the dough lightly.
-
On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into small squares or strips.
-
In the same pot used to cook the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
-
Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas to the pot. Drop the dumplings into the simmering broth, one at a time. Cover the pot and simmer for an additional 15 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
-
Serve the Old-Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
