Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 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

Method

 

1. In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, melt the two tablespoons of butter and add the frozen mirepoix blend, parsley and all the seasonings – Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, one teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are starting to soften, about 3 – 4 minutes.
2. Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth and shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir well. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
3. To make the dumplings, whisk together the flour, baking powder and remaining teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk and melted butter in a smaller bowl or glass measuring cup. Whisk them together then pour the milk and melted butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir together with a spatula until a smooth ball of dough forms.
4. Using a 1.5 tablespoon capacity cookie scoop, drop the dumpling dough into the simmering stew one at a time until all the dough has been used. The dough should make 15 dumplings.
5. Cover the pot and allow to cook (without uncovering) on a low simmer for 25 minutes.
6. Serve immediately.

Notes

– Use a good quality rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and convenience.
– Don’t skip the simmering time for the dumplings; this is crucial for their fluffy texture.
– For extra richness, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the broth.
