Chicken & Dumplings [0000323]

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups gluten-free chicken broth
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup frozen peas
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

In a large pot, bring the gluten-free chicken broth to a simmer. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until fully cooked.
In a bowl, mix gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk to form a sticky dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. Cover and let them cook for 15 minutes.
Season the chicken and dumplings with salt and pepper to taste.
Add frozen peas to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the peas are heated through.
Check the dumplings for doneness; they should be fluffy and cooked in the center.
Ladle the gluten-free Chicken & Dumplings into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
