Instructions
 

Make the Chicken Stew

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, cooking for 1 minute.
  • Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in frozen peas and heavy cream. If you prefer a thicker stew, whisk 2 tbsp of flour into 1/4 cup water and add to the pot, stirring well.

Make the Dumpling Dough

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in milk until a sticky dough forms. Add parsley if desired.

Cook the Dumplings

  • Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough directly onto the simmering stew, spacing them slightly apart.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings steam for 12–15 minutes without lifting the lid.

Serve

  • Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
  • Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors
