Directions

Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven and sear chicken for 3 minutes per side.
Remove, let rest 10 minutes, then dice.
Melt butter in the same pot, scraping up browned bits for flavor.
Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and seasonings. Cook 1 more minute.
Sprinkle flour, stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
Slowly add chicken broth and half and half, stirring continuously.
Add peas and return chicken to the pot.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and sugar.
Gently fold in sour cream, milk, and melted butter until just combined (do not overmix).
Drop spoonfuls of dough on top of the simmering soup.
Cover tightly and simmer gently for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
Test with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, dumplings are done.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot!

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Don’t lift the lid while the dumplings cook—they need steam!
A gentle simmer prevents the dumplings from breaking apart.
Sear chicken first for a richer broth.
Leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken works too!

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
Add extra herbs like thyme or parsley for garnish.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze soup (without dumplings) for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Warm gently on the stove. Reheat dumplings separately in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
