INGREDIENTS
- 2chicken breasts
- 2tablespoonsbutter
- 1smallonion, chopped
- 1leek, chopped on a bias
- 1/4cupflour
- 2cupschicken stock
- 1cuphot water
- 2carrots, diced
- 2stalkscelery, diced
- 1/2teaspoonthyme
- 1teaspoonsage
- 1dashpaprika
- salt
- pepper
- 1cupflour
- 1/2tablespoonbaking powder
- 1pinchsalt
- 1/2cupmilk
- 1tablespoonbutter
DIRECTIONS
- Lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts.
- Heat a heavy bottomed skillet on medium-high heat until very hot, and add 1 T of the butter. When the butter has melted, place the chicken in the pan and sear for 3 minutes. Flip, and sear on the other side for 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onions and leeks and reduce the heat to low. Stir frequently, and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add the flour, and stir to coat. Then, add the hot water and chicken stock and increase the heat to medium-high, whisking until it comes to a boil.
- Add the carrots, celery, thyme, sage and paprika and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, so the broth just bubbles.
- Slice the chicken in to thin slices, and add to the pan, pushing them down into the broth. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, baking powder and salt for the dumplings in a small bowl. Bring the milk and butter to a simmer in a sauce pan. With a fork, mix the milk mixture into the flour until it’s well moistened.
- Remove the lid from the cooking chicken, and if needed skim off any fat. Season to taste.
- Take about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon scoops of the dumpling dough, and form into a rough ball. Drop the dough into the broth. Repeat until you have as many dumplings as you’d like. Cook for about 10 minutes, and serve immediately.
