A creamy, hearty chicken stew with vegetables and homemade light and fluffy dumplings! Comes together so quick too!
Creamy chicken noodle soup with tender, pillowy dumplings? Yes. So much yes.
This is true comfort food at its finest without any canned biscuits or canned soup of any kind. The dumplings are made completely from scratch with a few pantry staples (unsalted butter, self-raising flour and buttermilk), and they’re super easy to whip up too.
And you get to repurpose leftover rotisserie chicken so this comes together very fast, making this absolutely weeknight worthy, especially on a cold, snowy day. Or really any other cold day where we just need a big hug in a bowl.
TOOLS FOR THIS RECIPE
Dutch oven
DO I HAVE TO USE WHITE WINE?
Additional chicken stock can be used for white wine as a non-alcoholic substitute.
WHAT IS HEAVY CREAM?
Heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream) has one of the highest fat contents with about 36-40% fat. Half and half or whole milk are suitable substitutes, but will yield a lighter result.
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE SELF RAISING FLOUR?
For 1 cup self-rising flour, you can substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
