Ingredients:

2 lbs

Chicken Breast, 1in cubes

1 cup

Onion, Chopped

1 cup

celery, thinly sliced

2 1/4 cup

flour

10 cup

chicken broth

2 cups

carrots, sliced

1/2 tsp

ground thyme

1 tbs

baking powder

3/4 cup

buttermilk

Directions:

1. In large soup pot, sauté chicken and onion over medium heat until chicken is browned, about 6-8 minutes.

2. Add celery and sauté.

3. Add 1/4 cup flour, then slowly add chicken broth, carrots and thyme, stirring well. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat, simmering for 20 minutes or until chicken is tender. Stir occasionally.

4. While simmering, prepare dumplings by mixing together flour and baking powder. Slowly add buttermilk, stirring well to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.

5. Once it is finished simmering, drop dough by the tablespoon-full into chicken stew mixture. Cover again and finish cooking over medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until dumplings are fully cooked.

6. Enjoy this warm comforting meal. To freeze, just cool and freeze in freezer bags or freezer containers.

On cooking day, just thaw and reheat. This will keep 3-4 months in the freezer.
