Chicken stew with dumplings is one of those old-fashioned favourites. How do you preserve the past while still managing all the flavours you grew up with and still keeping it healthy? This recipe will show you how simple it is to make delicious hearty chicken stew with gluten-free buttermilk dumplings and still keeping it nutritious.

This chicken stew is warming, comforting perfect for a chili day. In the traditional version, the stew is thickened with flour, and the dumplings tend to be heavy and are made with fat. In this chicken stew, the sauce is just right without added flour. The gluten-free buttermilk dumplings are light and fluffy and simple to make. The deliciousness smouldering in your mouth is from carefully chosen vegetables cooked with herbs in a delicious sauce. The gluten-free dumplings are made with buttermilk and green onions, which are equally unforgettable.

If you are looking for a budget-friendly option, add more root vegetables and use less chicken. Serve as is or over steamed greens. Are you looking for hearty stews? Check out these gluten-free stew recipes.

    Instructions

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy saucepan. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, add to the pan and brown on all sides. Remove chicken pieces to a plate
  • Add leeks and onions to the pan and stir-fry for 3 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir in marjoram, thyme and bay leaf. Add reserved chicken, chicken stock and all vegetables except peas. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the stew to boil, cover and reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes
  • While the stew is cooking, prepare the dumplings. Combine dry ingredients and green onions. Add buttermilk and egg and stir with a fork until just combined. Add peas to the stew, and drop dumpling batter by the tablespoon into boiling stew. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes. DO NOT LIFT THE LID. Turn the dumplings over and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Remove stew from heat and rest for 15 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken to perfection. Enjoy!
