Print This Recipe
INGREDIENTS 1 teaspoon vegetable or olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup sliced carrots
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces, about 2 cups
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon olive oilIn a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add the onions and carrots and sauté for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook just until the chicken starts to brown, but is not cooked through. Add the mushrooms, peas, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Let simmer 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add buttermilk and oil and stir with a fork until mixture comes together. Using a large spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop 8 golf ball-size (mold with your hands, if necessary) dumplings into simmering liquid. Cover pan and cook 5 minutes, no peeking, until dumplings are puffed up and cooked through.
