Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken white and dark meat shredded and skin removed
  • 12 oz frozen mirepoix blend celery, carrots and onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, melt the two tablespoons of butter and add the frozen mirepoix blend, parsley and all the seasonings - Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, one teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are starting to soften, about 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth and shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir well. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
  • To make the dumplings, whisk together the flour, baking powder and remaining teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk and melted butter in a smaller bowl or glass measuring cup.
    I like to microwave both the melted butter and cold milk together after I've combined them to bring them closer to the same temperature. Whisk them together then pour the milk and melted butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir together with a spatula until a smooth ball of dough forms.
  • Using a 1.5 tablespoon capacity cookie scoop, drop the dumpling dough into the simmering stew one at a time until all the dough has been used. The dough should make 15 dumplings.
  • Cover the pot and allow to cook (without uncovering) on a low simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
