How to Make Sunday Chicken Stew

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
  3. In a large skillet, brown chicken in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides.
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Gradually add 4 cups chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Bring broth to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. In a 5-quart slow cooker, layer 2 cups chopped carrots, 2 cups chopped celery, and 1 large chopped onion.
  8. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped.
  9. Add the browned chicken and hot broth to the slow cooker.
  10. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  11. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  12. **For Dumplings:** In a small bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped.
  13. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/2 cup milk.
  14. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  15. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the simmering chicken stew.
  16. Cover and cook on high for 25-30 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Do not lift the lid while dumplings are cooking.)
