Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
2 lbs chicken breasts
1 large onion, diced
4 carrots, slices
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 frozen peas
4 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream

Directions

1

In a 6-quart dutch oven, cook chicken over medium-high heat until brown on both sides. Once chicken pieces are browned, remove and set aside.
2

Add carrot and onion and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
3

Add garlic and stir for another minute.
4

Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter and flour, stirring constantly for 3 minutes to avoid lumps.
5

Add chicken and any accumulated juices back to dutch oven and stir to to coat in roux/vegetable mix. Add chicken broth, cream, thyme, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Once soup is at a simmer, add frozen peas and cover.
6

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cream. Stir until mixture comes together into single mass of dough.
7

Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, form dough into small round balls about 1 inch in diameter (this dough mixture should yield 14-16 dumplings).
8

Place dough balls into simmering soup (making sure they don't touch), and cover. Let soup simmer for 15 minutes or until dumplings are cooked (they should pass the toothpick test).
