Instructions
For the Chicken
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, and onion. Saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add butter to the pot. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly until a paste forms.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken stock. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot. Cover and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Stir in the evaporated milk and frozen peas. Let everything simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
For the Dumplings
- In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Blend in the cold butter using your hands or a pastry blender until the mixture becomes coarse and crumb-like.
- Gradually add in the milk, stirring until a dough forms.
- Dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the dough to about ¼” thickness. Cut into squares using a pizza cutter or knife.
Finish the Chicken and Dumplings
- Drop the dumplings one at a time into the simmering pot, stirring frequently. Let them cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
