How to cook it
-
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium and cook the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until soft, about 7 minutes.
-
Sprinkle in the 3 tbsp flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the broth, thyme, bay leaf, and 1 tsp salt.
-
Add the chicken thighs, bring to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes, then remove, shred, and return the meat with the peas.
-
For the dumplings, cut the 4 tbsp butter into the 2 cups flour, baking powder, and remaining salt, then stir in the milk to make a soft dough.
-
Drop spoonfuls of dough over the simmering stew, cover tightly, and cook without lifting the lid until the dumplings are puffed and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
-
Discard the bay leaf and serve in deep bowls.

When to cook it
Chicken and Dumplings takes about 60 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a proper project. It is eaten at dinner. It is at its best in the fall and winter, which is when what goes into it is worth buying.
