Chicken Stew with Dumplings
My mom’s chicken stew was my all-time favorite childhood lunch. She always used to make it when I was sick, and just knowing that she will make the soup made me feel so much better.

METHOD

  • Dumplings

    In a bowl, stir to combine eggs and melted (but cold) butter. Add semolina and stir to combine to get a thick mixture. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes. Using two teaspoons, shape the batter into a dumpling and drop it into the pot filled with boiling salted water. Repeat the process until you use all the mixture. Cook for 30 minutes (low simmer). Remove from the heat, cover with a lid, and leave the dumplings to sit in the water for about 20 - 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the chicken stew.

Add diced garlic, grated ginger, diced lemongrass (optional), tomato paste and herbs (bay leaf, lemon peel, and thyme). Cook for a minute, then add the chicken breasts cut in cubes, stir and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the flour, stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
