Напрямки

Make the chicken stew:

Step 1: Make the chicken stew:

Pat 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season all over with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper.

Step 2: Make the chicken stew:

Melt 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear on until golden-brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total. The chicken will not be cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly, then cut into 3/4-inch pieces.

Step 3: Make the chicken stew:

Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in the same pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 diced large yellow onion, 3 peeled and diced medium carrots, 2 diced medium celery stalks, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Make the chicken stew:

Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 5: Make the chicken stew:

Stir in 1 (32-ounce) box low-sodium chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings.

Make the dumplings:

Step 1: Make the dumplings:

Place 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in 1 cup cold heavy cream and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter just until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 2: Make the dumplings:

When the stew is ready, stir in 1/2 cup frozen peas and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves. Taste and season with more kosher salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 3: Make the dumplings:

Drop 1/4-cup portions of the dough evenly onto the surface of the stew. Cover and cook for 17 minutes. Check the dumplings for doneness: They are ready when they are about quadrupled in size and no longer raw and doughy in the center. If not fully cooked, cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Serve garnished with more chopped parsley and black pepper.
