Gluten-Free Chicken & Dumplings
This delightful dish is not just for the gluten-free folks—it’s a crowd-pleaser that even the gluten lovers will devour in seconds! So, roll up your sleeves and let’s whip this up in no time!
### Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup gluten-free baking mix
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, your choice!)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional, but who doesn’t love a dash of green?)
Instructions:
- First things first, grab a large pot and place it over medium heat. Toss in the diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until they’re fragrant and the onions are translucent—about 3 minutes.
- Next, throw in those chicken breasts and let them brown a little. It’s just chicken, but we want to make it feel special! Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden.
- Now, let’s add the chicken broth, carrots, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring that beauty to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- While that’s happening, let’s make the dumplings! In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free baking mix, milk, and egg. Stir until it’s just combined—don’t overmix, or you’ll be doing a chicken and dumpling dance of disappointment!
- Once your chicken is done, remove it from the pot, shred it, and throw it back in like you’re throwing confetti at a celebration!
- Next, stir in the frozen peas to add a pop of color and a hint of sweetness. Then, drop spoonfuls of dumpling mixture on top of the simmering broth—remember, they’ll puff up like little fluffy clouds!
- Cover the pot and let those dumplings steam for about 10-15 minutes. Your kitchen should start smelling like heaven right about now.
- Once the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through, give the pot a gentle stir, and garnish with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Serve hot and enjoy the cheerful warmth of your gluten-free chicken and dumplings!
