Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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
- 3 tablespoons (21g) cornstarch
Dumplings
- 3/4 cup (90g) King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Biscuit & Baking Mix
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, optional
- 1/3 cup (74g) milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Heat the Chicken Mixture: In a 3-quart saucepan set over medium heat, combine chicken stock, cut-up cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Thicken the Broth: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the boiling chicken mixture and heat just until it returns to a boil to thicken the broth.
- Prepare Dumpling Dough: While the chicken mixture is heating, use a fork to combine the gluten-free baking mix, optional baking powder, 1/3 cup milk, melted butter, egg, and optional chopped parsley in a small bowl until a dough forms.
- 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.
- Simmer and Cook Dumplings: Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover the saucepan, and cook for 15 minutes until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- 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.
