My family loved this!           Kids declared it a success!!
I seasoned it a bit more with salt ! It reheats really well, if you make smaller dumplings it may not so I recommend keeping them bigger, I did cook mine a bit longer too.  I added a few more cups of chicken broth!

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

  • 1 1/4 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), cut into 1-inch pieces

In the same skillet, sauté leeks and shallots until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add carrots, celery, bay leaf and thyme and cook another 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon of seasoned flour and it cook until it begins to color, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and apple juice. Return chicken to pot. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile to make dumplings, sift 2 tablespoons flour, cornmeal, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt together into a bowl. Stir in parsley. With a fork, stir in milk until dough just comes together. Drop dumpling mixture with a teaspoon into chicken mixture.

Simmer, covered, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Add peas, and cook until dumplings are done, another 2 to 4 minutes. Serve in six 1-cup portions.
