Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 cups trimmed and halved green beans
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the celery, carrots, garliconions and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, grind the oats in a food processor until fine. Combine with the flour, baking powder, zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers until only very small pieces remain. Stir in 1/2 cup ice water, a bit at a time, until a soft dough is formed. Let rest 10 minutes.

Drop cherry-size bits of the dumpling dough into the soup. Add the green beans and stir gently. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the dumplings are floating and cooked through and the beans are bright green and crisp-tender, about 12 minutes. Add the chicken and continue to cook until it is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the dill and season with salt and pepper.

    Delicious. Although it took me longer to make it was worth the effort. My husband doesn't care for dill so I just added it to my serving(s. I don't know if I can ever get the prep time down to 20 minutes with all the chopping and the time it took to make all the dumplings but this is the second time I made it and will definitely make it again.

    Recipe is 4 stars, but my changes to it make it a 5 star. I substituted the regular flour for 1/3c of coconut flour and added some cajun spices to it. As far as the broth, I only used 2 cups of chicken broth. Then I added one can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of chicken. It gave it a better base, rather than just being a regular chicken noodle flavor. It came out really good and my family enjoyed it.
