How to Make Stewed Chicken And Dumplings

  1. Place 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in a large pot. Add 6 cups of water.
  2. Add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped onion to the pot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the chicken is easily shredded with a fork.
  5. While the chicken simmers, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup cold butter (cut into small pieces). Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it. Skim off excess fat from the broth. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  7. Bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the simmering broth, leaving some space between each dumpling.
  8. Cover the pot and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
