Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Add milk and oil, stir until just combined, and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic, salt, parsley, thyme, and black pepper, stirring briefly.
- Add chicken pieces and cook for 3–4 minutes until no longer pink.
- Pour in chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender.
- Whisk cream and cornstarch together, then stir into the pot along with peas. Simmer until slightly thickened.
- Drop spoonfuls of dumpling batter over the stew.
- Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing dumpling batter to keep them soft.
- Add extra broth for a thinner consistency if desired.
- Use chicken thighs for richer flavor.
- Best to freeze without dumplings for better texture.
- Reheat with a splash of broth or cream.
