Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dumplings)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (for dumplings)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for dumplings)
- 0.5 cup whole milk (for dumplings)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and cook in the skillet until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk into the melted butter until a paste forms. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of milk. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cooked chicken, 2 cups of mixed frozen vegetables, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat for 2 minutes.
In a bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt for the dumplings.
Cut in 2 tablespoons of butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add 0.5 cup of milk and stir until just combined to form a sticky dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough over the chicken mixture in the skillet, spacing them evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden and cooked through.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Quick Oven Chicken and Dumplings!
