Heat oil in large dutch oven. Sear chicken on both sides. Remove from pot and set aside. Add onion, carrots, celery and leeks. Cook until tender. Add garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Reduce heat. Add butter and flour, stirring constantly until flour starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to the pot along with thyme and salt. Add chicken stock and cream. Bring to a simmer and add peas. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dumplings by stirring all ingredients together. Do not overmix. Drop by spoonfuls into simmering dutch oven. Cover and cook until dumplings are cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
I love mushrooms and cheese. I will have to try this! My mouth is watering 🤤
It was just so slow to me but many others have loved it!
I love CoHo but also don’t like drawn out plots–maybe this isn’t the best book of hers for me to…
Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much! That means a lot 💙
This was my favorite slider out of the four! Thank you, Azilde! I hope you enjoy 💕
