You can avoid this by not adding all the liquid at once. It's dough! If you have runny, pancake like batter, or anything that doesn't hold together like a nice moist biscuit dough you need to add more flour to the mix. Keep in mind that your dumpling mixture IS NOT BATTER! The recipe as written makes a stiff dough that stands up well in the stew. Are you using all-purpose flour? Good cornmeal? And the right amount of cream? Both times, my dumplings came out whole, moist and flavorful. And I'm not sure what's going on with the ones who had trouble with the dumplings. At least use bone-in breasts and thighs you're missing the umami from the bones and marrow. This is superb! Seriously, those of you making this with skinless, boneless breasts and store-bought stock do not know what you are missing. And I also added more of the carrots, onion and celery.
#CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS WITH TORTILLAS SKIN#
After discarding the back, giblets, skin, and bones, I made the recipe as written with only the white meats (bone-in, skin on) and the dark meat pieces. I got a 4-lb chicken and made the stock from the back, giblets and dark meats (makes the best stock, seriously). This simple (but messy!) act took this stew from very good to great. It is delicious as is, but this weekend I took it up a notch and made my own stock (which I generally prefer). Followed rec to the letter but the “dumplings” completely melted into the soup.įlavor was good though, but I’m glad it was just husband and myself because presentation was very poor 😞 I'll try again, because it was really quite good nonetheless. I bet it would've been find if I'd added more flour. My "dough" was more like batter despite careful measuring, and did not firm up as it rested. I ended up with a very tasty chicken stew. like some other reviewers, my dumplings disintegrated. We paired it with a glass of chardonnay and that brought all the flavors together. It was the perfect dinner - warm, nourishing, comforting. Totally delicious! I used chicken thighs instead of a whole chicken but otherwise made this recipe as is on a chilly spring evening. I really enjoyed the chewiness that the cornmeal brought to the dumplings. I couldn't fit them all in the pot & so some of the batter went to waste. 1: use just chicken thighs, and 2: halve the dumplings part of it. I made it exactly as written, but will make 2 modifications for the next time. I have a new favorite thing! This was so good that I couldn't stop thinking about eating the leftovers the next day. Also cooked the onions longer (about 5 minutes) and the vegetables longer (about 5 minutes). Simply mix together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water then whisk this mixture into the stew.Nice recipe! I added one jalapeno, 1/2 cup of mirin, a pinch of cayenne and a pinch of nutmeg. Cook's Note: If the chicken stew is too thin it can be thickened before the dumplings are added.To serve, ladle chicken, gravy, and dumplings into warm bowls.Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes.
Gently move the pot in a circular motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly. Do not stir the chicken once the dumplings have been added.
Pull a piece in half and drop the halves into the simmering soup.
Using your fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl, gradually incorporate about 3/4 cup of ice water. Beginning at the center of the mound, drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour.
