Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups (567g) chicken stock
• 1 1/2 cups (170g to 198g) cut-up cooked chicken
• 1 cup (128g) mixed vegetables, frozen
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup (227g) milk, divided
• 3 tablespoons (21g) cornstarch
• 3/4 cup (90g) King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Biscuit & Baking Mix
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring the chicken stock, cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, seasoned salt, and black pepper to a boil.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of the milk and the cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the boiling chicken broth and heat just until it reaches a gentle boil again.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in another small bowl, combine the baking mix, baking powder (if using), remaining 1/4 cup milk, melted butter, egg, and parsley. Stir with a fork until a soft dough forms.
4. Step 4: Once the chicken mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Drop the dumpling dough by 8 rounded spoonfuls onto the surface of the simmering chicken mixture.
5. Step 5: Cover the saucepan and let the dumplings cook gently for 15 minutes, until they are puffed and cooked through.
6. Step 6: Remove from heat. Serve by spooning a dumpling and plenty of chicken and vegetables onto each plate while hot.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sauté the mixed vegetables briefly before adding them to the broth.
• Replace chicken with turkey leftovers for a seasonal twist.
• Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the broth’s aroma.
• To make the dumplings lighter, feel free to omit the baking powder if you prefer a denser texture.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of chicken stock or milk to loosen the mixture and keep the dumplings tender.

FAQs

Can I use homemade chicken stock for this recipe?

Yes, homemade chicken stock works wonderfully and adds rich flavor. Just substitute it in equal amounts for the store-bought stock.

How can I tell when the dumplings are fully cooked?

The dumplings should be puffed up and firm to the touch after simmering. If you gently press one with a spoon, it should feel light and springy without any raw doughy center.

4. Add Dumplings to the Broth: Once the chicken mixture is boiling, gently drop the dumpling dough by 8 rounded spoonfuls onto the boiling liquid, spacing them evenly.

6. Serve: Remove from heat and scoop dumplings along with some of the chicken and vegetables onto serving plates. Serve hot.

Notes

• Use cooked chicken leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh if preferred.
• For a thicker broth, ensure cornstarch is fully dissolved before adding.
• If baking powder is not available, dumplings will still rise slightly but be less fluffy.
• Keep the heat low during simmering to prevent dumplings from breaking apart.
• This dish can be made dairy-free by substituting milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
