Total time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 cups diced Traditional Rotisserie Chicken
- ½ cup diced white onion
- ¼ cup diced celery
- ¼ cup diced carrot
- 3 cups unsalted chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Dumplings:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup milk
Instructions:
- Start by making the dumplings. Place all the ingredients minus the milk in a blender. Puree until fine. Remove from the blender and place into a mixing bowl. Stir in milk until well incorporated. Roll the dough into bite-size balls and refrigerate.
- Heat oil in a sauce pot over medium heat. Sweat the vegetables for 1 minute and stir in flour until coated well. Stir in the cream and thickening will be fast, stir in the broth until smooth.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook the dumplings in small batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes in the liquid, remove and repeat the dumplings in small batches until finished. Check the dumplings are cooked throughout, simply pierce the middle of the dumplings with a toothpick. If the toothpick is clear of dough the dumplings are done. Do not overcook or the dumplings will begin to dissipate into the liquid.
- Add the chicken to the liquid and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Serve with the dumplings.
