1-1/3 cups Gluten-Free Prairie All Purpose Flour Blend
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup 2% milk (room temp)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
½ cup heavy whipping cream
*2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley, fennel seed, tarragon, white pepper and thyme
Additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
SOUP: In a shallow bowl, mix ½ cup flour blend, salt and pepper. Add chicken, one piece at a time, and toss to coat; shake off excess. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in batches on all sides; remove from pan.
Add onion, carrots and celery and mushrooms to same pan; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until onion is tender. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Whisk 1 cup of stock with ¼ cup of Gluten- Free Prairie Flour Blend until well blended. Gradually add remaining 5 cups stock, stirring constantly. Stir in wine, sugar, bay leaves and peppercorns. Return chicken to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
DUMPLINGS: In a medium bowl, whisk GFP All Purpose Flour blend, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk milk and melted butter until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (do not over-mix). *Let rest for 5 min. Roll ¾ tablespoon of mixture into balls and set on parchment paper-lined baking sheet; set aside.
Remove chicken from stockpot; cool slightly. Discard bay leaves. Remove any skin and bones from chicken and discard. Cut up chicken and return to soup. Cook, covered, on high until mixture reaches a *rolling simmer.
Drop dumplings on top of simmering soup, a few at a time. Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of dumplings comes out clean. Uncover and continue cooking for about 5 min. Gently stir in cream. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley
*TIPS:
• If desired, you can use prepared cooked chicken (like Costco’s) in place of bullet #1
• Resting the dumpling batter helps it to dry out a bit making it easier to handle
• Rolling simmer (not boil) will set the dumplings
