I love this recipe because I can prepare the veggies the night before and, in the morning, brown the chicken and assemble everything in the slow cooker before I go to church. I can spend time with my family while Sunday dinner cooks.—Diane Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas

Sunday Chicken Stew Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Cook: 6-1/2 hours

Yield: 6 Servings

30 360 390

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 pounds), cut up and skin removed
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cups chicken broth
6 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1-1/2 cups frozen peas
DUMPLINGS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup 2% milk

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper; add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil; remove and keep warm. Gradually add broth to the skillet; bring to a boil.
In a 5-qt. slow cooker, layer the carrots, celery and onion; sprinkle with rosemary. Add the chicken and hot broth. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is tender, vegetables are tender and stew is bubbling.
Remove chicken; when cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bones and discard bones. Cut meat into bite-size pieces and return to the slow cooker. Stir in peas.
For dumplings, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and rosemary. Combine the egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto simmering chicken mixture. Cover and cook on high for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering). Yield: 6 servings.

This is a very easy recipe..I have made it twice and the chicken falls off the bone. My family loves the dumplings. I added sweet potatoes.

I found this recipe in the magazine years ago and I love it. It is a stew and is NOT meant to be creamy. I always make it with chicken thighs and have cooked it with bone in and bone out, depending on what I have around. Do not expect it to be overly flavorful, as the rosemary is the star of this show.

This was just ok. Even with all of the seasonings, (even adding poultry seasoning, seasoning the chicken, adding the pan juices, etc.), it was STILL bland. I was really suprised. The veggies and chicken cooked well, but not very flavorful. Won't make this one again.....too time consuming for just an average dish.

My husband and I thought this was pretty good, but not great. I think I'll go back to my standard chicken and dumplings although I may make these dumplings instead of my regular. This recipe was filling, but my personal preference is for a creamier, soupier chicken and dumplings.

It was good, and flavorful, but didn't make enough. Of course my husband made it and followed the recipe to a "T", so unfortunately all the leftovers I was looking forward to are just a pipe dream. If I was to make it again I would double or triple the recipe. I have a family of six, 2 adults, 2 adult sized teen boys, and a 10 and 8 yr old. I need a LOT of food to feed the whole gang.

I have been preparing this recipe for my family for a couple years now. It is one of our favorite winter comfort dishes.

I do make a couple small changes. First of all, I buy boneless, skinless chicken thighs. This saves time in having to do the deboning process. 2nd, I put all the vegies in my crockpot and poor the broth right on top. Brown the chicken and put on top of everything else. I have found no difference in heating the broth before pouring it over all ingredient. Last, my family doesn't like peas so I substitue fresh green beans.

Yum Yum

I was not impressed by this recipe. The prep is time consuming and the taste was ok but nothing impressive

This took a while to make, but is was scrumptious! I made it just like the recipe said, except I forgot to debone the chicken before putting the dumplings on. I deboned it after the dumplings were done, and put the chicken back in the stew, and it was wonderful! I made it for a friend, but I will definitely make again it for my family!
