Ingredients
For Dumpling:
- ⦁ ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⦁ ¾ cup buttermilk
- ⦁ 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⦁ Two tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- ⦁ ¼ teaspoon pepper freshly ground
- ⦁ Half cup finely chopped parsley
- ⦁ 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ⦁ Half cup finely chopped chives
- ⦁ One large egg
For Chicken:
- ⦁ Two tablespoons vegetable oil
- ⦁ Four chopped stalks celery
- ⦁ Four sprigs thyme
- ⦁ ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ⦁ One large diced yellow onion
- ⦁ Two thinly sliced large leeks
- ⦁ Six peeled and sliced medium carrots
- ⦁ One tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Coat both sides of the chicken with pepper and salt. In the oven, heat the oil over medium flame. Sear chicken, until thoroughly golden brown. Cook for another five to eight minutes, just until the chicken is browned on the opposite side. Add all of the fat from the chicken into a measuring cup and place it on a large dish.
- ⦁ Return two tbsp of grease to the pot, leaving all the browned bits in place. Combine the celery, onions, and half of the carrots in a large mixing bowl. Season with pepper and salt and simmer on medium heat, stirring often to scrape up all of the parts remaining to the bottom of the saucepan. Cook for about four minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the chicken, thyme, and eight cups of water to the pan.
- ⦁ Allow the chicken to cool on a platter or chopping board. Remove the stock from the pan and strain it.
- ⦁ On medium heat, melt the remaining three tablespoons of chicken fat and one tablespoon butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continually for two to three minutes, or until everything is pale lightly browned.
- ⦁ Bring to the boil, whisking in the reserved chicken broth until no lumps are left. Sprinkle with salt and reduce to low heat to allow the carrots and leeks to cook.
- ⦁ Add the meat to the pot after shredding it. Cook, stirring periodically, for ten to twelve minutes.
- ⦁ Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper in a medium mixing basin. Mix egg and buttermilk in a small bowl, then add to dry ingredients. Stir lightly to blend using a spoon.
- ⦁ Put dollops of dumpling dough into the bowl with a spoon, spreading them as far apart as possible. Reduce the heat to low and cook for twenty minutes.
- ⦁ Remove cover and divide among bowls; if desired, garnish with chives and parsley.

chicken & dumpling recipe using rotisserie chicken & listed ingredients do not match the recipe that it is linked to. is there one that uses rotisserie chicken?
The chicken and dumpling recipe sounds delicious; however, there is no mention how much chicken to use? Help! Thank you!
This recipe is hard to follow. It does not tell you how much chicken and then it mentions in the oven, but talks about on the stove. I’m giving it a try and winging parts of it from past experience, but again, this is confusing.
i love your easy delishuse Recipes
No mention of how much chicken? Whole chicken? I used like two pounds of skin on breasts with rib meat. Didn’t make enough drippings which is why I assume whole chicken. Also says to separate the carrots and assume add the other part with the leeks, but again never mentioned at all. I just added it all in to the pot at once, let it simmer for 10 min, added the roux, then the leeks and carrots for the last 20 min simmer before I added the dumplings. Oh I substituted Bacon Up (shelf stable bacon grease) where I was short chicken fat/drippings. My roux was all bacon fat and the butter
