Title: Flat Chicken And Dumplings
Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 carrots, sliced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.
5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
6. While the gravy simmers, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
7. Once the gravy has thickened, add the shredded chicken back to the skillet along with the frozen peas. Let the mixture simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the peas are heated through.
8. Stir in the heavy cream to add a touch of richness to the dish. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
9. To make the dumplings, combine the dough ingredients – a simple mix of flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and milk – then drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes until they are fluffy and cooked through.
10. Once the dumplings are ready, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a pop of freshness and color.
Enjoy your Flat Chicken And Dumplings hot, right out of the skillet, for a comforting and satisfying meal that will have your loved ones feeling cozy and content.
