Chicken And Dumplings For Two Recipe

This recipe is a delightful twist on classic chicken and dumplings, perfect for a romantic dinner or a cozy night in. Inspired by a Cooking Light recipe (with a dash of improvisation!), this smaller-batch version is ideal for two. We've swapped celery for green beans and added a touch of celery seed for that familiar flavor. Feel free to customize it further – leftover chicken, mushrooms, and your favorite fresh herbs are all welcome additions! Serve it traditionally or try something new, like spooning it over hot noodles for a unique culinary experience. Get ready for tender chicken, fluffy dumplings, and a comforting broth that'll warm your soul.

How to Make Chicken And Dumplings For Two

  1. Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook for 4 minutes per side, until browned.
  2. Remove chicken from saucepan and set aside.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 cup chopped green beans to the saucepan. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened. Add 1 teaspoon dried celery leaves.
  4. Return the chicken to the saucepan. Cook for 1 minute. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk until a smooth batter forms.
  7. Drop the batter by heaping teaspoons into the simmering chicken broth. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
  8. Discard parsley sprigs (if using fresh). Serve immediately and enjoy!
