Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pot. Cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
  • Return chicken to the pot. Pour in chicken broth, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum in a bowl. Pour in milk and melted butter, and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
  • Remove bay leaf from the stew. Stir in heavy cream. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough directly onto the surface of the simmering stew.
  • Cover the pot with the lid and let it simmer for another 15-20 minutes. Do not peek. Dumplings are done when puffed up and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
