Recipe Makes (Approximate): 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 4 pieces chicken ((we use 2 legs and 2 thighs))
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup diced carrots
  • ¼ cup diced celery
  • ½ medium onion (, diced)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • 3 cups chicken broth ((low-sodium))
  • ¼ cup apple cider
  • ¼ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
  • ½ tbsp heaping tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (, optional, for garnish)
  • 1-2 pinch salt (, to taste)

Instructions

  • Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in flour. Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides, about 4 minutes per side, and remove to a clean plate.
  • In the same pot, add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir in ground thyme and turmeric, then pour in chicken broth and apple cider. Stir to combine, then add browned chicken. Cover pot and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  • While chicken is simmering, make the dough for the dumplings: sift together all dry ingredients, then add half-and-half, stirring gently to combine. Set aside.
  • Remove chicken from pot and set aside on a plate. Use two forks to remove chicken from the bone. Shred, then add chicken to the pot. Pour heavy cream into the pot and stir to combine.
  • Drop tablespoons of dumpling dough into the simmering pot. Add minced parsley if using.
  • Cover pot halfway and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Check seasonings; add salt if needed. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
