Italian Chicken And Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbsp. dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 4 min. or until lightly browned. (Chicken will not be done.) Spoon chicken into bowl; set aside.
• Add broth gradually to flour in small bowl, whisking constantly until well blended. Add 1 Tbsp. of the remaining dressing to skillet. Add garlic; cook 2 to 3 min. or until fragrant. Add flour mixture; cook and stir 2 min. or until thickened.
• Add cream cheese; cook and stir 3 min. or until melted. Add chicken, vegetables, gnocchi and remaining dressing; mix lightly. Bring to boil, stirring frequently.
• Cook on medium-low heat 15 min. or until chicken is done and gnocchi are tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Chop onion, cellery, and carrots. Set aside. Simmer plum tomatoes for one minute to remove skin and chop. (You can use a small can of 'whole plum tomatoes' if you want to skip this step.) Smash the clove of garlic.
• Heat heavy bottom pot or dutch oven over medium with olive oil. Season chicken and brown on both sides. Remove chicken from pot along with some of the fat. Saute your onion, cellery, and carrots until onions are translucent.
• To the vegetables add back the chicken. Cover with the 5 plum tomatoes, tomato sauce, and about 2 quarts of water. Add the smashed clove of garlic.
• Cover pot with lid and simmer until vegetables are comepletely tender and chicken is cooked through.
• When chicken is thoroughly cooked remove from pot and carefully peel off the remaining skin and remove the chicken from the bone in big chunks. Set aside.
• Remove pot from heat and use an imersion blender to break down all of the vegetables. (If you do not have an imersion blender you can use a standing blender. Be careful!) Place chunked chicken back to pot and return to heat. Bring everything to a boil.
• Drop in your prepared gnocchi (dumplings) and cook until all of the dumplings float to the top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In large pot bring the chicken stock, soup, and cream to a boil.
• Dice both peppers and onion. Using a mini chopper makes this a breeze. Spray a bowl with cooking spray, add peppers, onions and tomatoes, and cook to soften in the microwave. Approx 2 minutes.
• Add softened veggies and cooked chicken to pot of boiling stock. Stir in spices.
• Drop biscuit quarters into pot. Do not stir. Let things return to boil, cook 10 minutes uncovered. Reduce heat to simmer, add lid and cook additional 7 minutes or until biscuits are done.
• Avoid lifting the lid during the final cook time and don't over stir. Stirring will tear apart the dumplings.
• Enjoy!
