- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (for dumplings)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for dumplings)
- 3 tablespoons Butter, cold and diced
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then add minced garlic and continue to sauté for 1 minute.
Add diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until slightly softened.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken slightly.
Add the heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir well to combine.
Return the seared chicken to the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
While the filling simmers, prepare the herbed dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in the cold, diced butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped parsley, chives, and milk until a soft dough forms.
Once the filling is ready, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough on top of the simmering filling. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 20 minutes on low heat. Do not lift the lid while the dumplings cook to ensure they puff up properly.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving.
