For the Chicken Stew:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour for thickening, optional
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.
