Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

How to make Homemade Chicken and Dumplings Recipe - is one of those dinners that is pure comfort food. Chunky tender vegetables, shredded chicken, and tender dumplings make even the pickiest eaters ask for seconds. If you’ve never attempted dumplings, my recipe is a great one to start with. You add all of the ingredients in one bowl and use a cookie scoop to drop the dough right into the soup. This is a family favorite meal at our house that we make on a regular basis. Enjoy with a simple salad.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup peeled and diced carrot
1 cup finely chopped white onion
1 cup diced celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 1⁄2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 1⁄2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3⁄4 cup cake flour
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄2 cup milk
1⁄4 cup heavy cream
1⁄4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Method:
1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the carrot, onion, and celery and cook, stirring, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, chicken, parsley, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper and cook, stirring, until hot, about 5 minutes.

2. To make the dumplings, add the flours, milk, heavy cream, cornmeal, baking powder, paprika, and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt to a large bowl. Stir until a sticky dough forms. With floured hands, knead for 30 seconds in the bowl. With a medium cookie scoop, drop the dough carefully into the pot, submerging the dumplings. Do not stir. Cover the pot, reduce to medium low, and cook until the dumplings are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
