Grocery List
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 8-10 new (red) potatoes
  • 3 large carrots, diced
  • 2-3 celery ribs, diced (plus leaves)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
  • 2 eggs (optional)
  • Dumplings: (Consider doubling this amount - you'll thank me)
  • 1½ c. flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbs. butter
  • ¾ c. milk
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
Here's how...
  1. Put the chicken in a soup pot and cover with water.
  2. Add in salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Chop onions, garlic, celery, carrots and potatoes and add to the pot.
  4. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 hours. Remove chicken and set it aside to cool enough to pick the meat from the bones. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Make the dumplings by mixing flour, salt, garlic powder, baking powder, and parsley. Consider doubling these amounts to make extra dumplings.
  6. Cut butter into the mixture with a mixer or pastry cutter until the butter is the size of peas. Do not over mix. Slowly pour in milk and mix JUST until moistened.
  7. Add the chicken back to the pot and bring the temp to medium low. Add in frozen peas.
  8. Spoon the dumpling mixture one spoonful at a time onto the top of the simmering stew.
  9. Put the lid on!! Don't peek! Let them cook 15-20 minutes.
