Summary
Here’s how it works: You’ll season the chicken, brown it in batches, then transfer it to a plate. Browning the chicken first gives the dish its flavor and eliminates the need for chicken broth. Next, you’ll add your veggies to the pot with the chicken drippings, which will give them all sorts of delicious flavors. And let’s not forget the dumplings. Making the dumplings is easy; you whisk together some dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt), add butter and buttermilk, and dollop the dough on top of your chicken stew mixture. It takes just six pantry ingredients (plus a pinch of salt and pepper) to create fluffy, delicious dumplings that make the soup simply irresistible.
