Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base: In a large, heavy pot, combine the soup, water, chicken, celery, onion, salt, poultry seasoning, and ground black pepper.
-
Cook Slowly: Cover the pot and let the mixture cook over low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
-
Add Vegetables: After the initial cooking time, add in the potatoes and carrots. Cover the pot again and let it simmer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and absorb the delicious flavors of the stew.
-
Shred the Chicken: Once the vegetables are tender, remove the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, mixing it well with the vegetables and broth.
-
Incorporate Peas: Stir in the frozen green peas, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the stew. Let the peas cook for an additional 5 minutes, adding a burst of color and freshness to the dish.
-
Prepare Dumplings: While the stew is simmering, prepare the dumplings by mixing the baking mix and milk together until a soft dough forms.
-
Drop Dumplings: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the BOILING stew, spacing them evenly across the surface.
-
Simmer Dumplings: Cover the pot again and allow the dumplings to simmer for 10 minutes, allowing them to cook and expand in the flavorful broth.
-
Uncover and Cook: After 10 minutes, uncover the pot and continue simmering the dumplings for an additional 10 minutes, allowing them to firm up slightly and develop a golden crust on top.
-
Serve Hot: Once the dumplings are cooked through and the stew is piping hot, serve your Irish Chicken and Dumplings in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy the cozy comfort of this classic Irish dish!
