Puff Pastry Braid with Guava and Cream Cheese
Rosemary-Dijon Chicken and Dumplings
By :Coco Morante |

Chicken and dumplings are pure cold weather comfort food, and this version gets a French- inspired flavor boost from fragrant rosemary and tangy Dijon mustard. The addition of a bag of frozen mixed vegetables makes this a nutritious one-pot meal. If you like, you can add a little heavy cream to enrich the thick, flavorful broth.

Instructions
- Make the dumpling dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter, then use your fingers to distribute it throughout the flour until it has a crumbly texture.
- Add the milk. Use a wooden spoon to mix just until the dry ingredients are absorbed. The batter will be thick and lumpy. Set aside.
- Make the stew: select the sauté setting on the Instant Pot and heat the olive oil and garlic for about 2 minutes, until the garlic is bubbling. Add the onion, celery, rosemary, salt, and pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion is beginning to soften.
- Add the chicken and sauté for about 2 more minutes, until the chicken pieces are mostly opaque on the outside (they do not have to be cooked through). Stir in the Dijon mustard and chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to nudge any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
- Use a
1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dumplings, dropping them into the pot on top of the vegetables and broth in a single layer. - Secure the lid and set the pressure release for sealing. Press Cancel to reset the cooking program, then select the PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL setting for 8 minutes at high pressure. (The pot will take about 5 minutes to come up to pressure before the cooking program begins.)
- When the cooking program ends, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then move the pressure release to vent to release any remaining steam.
- Open the pot. Add the thawed mixed vegetables, parsley, and cream (if using) and stir gently to combine, taking care not to break up the dumplings.
- Ladle into bowls and serve right away.
Recipe Notes
Cake flour yields more tender dumplings, while all- purpose flour results in chewier, denser dumplings.
