Comfort comes in many forms. It can be a simple as the blessing of a bowl of soup on a very cold evening.
Ingredients:
3 ½ lb. chicken
3 carrots
3 stalks celery
3 cloves garlic
Rub for Chicken:
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. turmeric
½ tsp. curry powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
Dumplings:
1 cup flour
1 tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
1 tablespoon margarine
½ cup milk
Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
Combine the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl.
Place cleaned chicken in a baking pan. Rub the chicken with the rub-mixture.
Place carrots, celery and garlic around the chicken. Fill the baking pan half-way with water.
Bake the chicken 55-60 minutes or until the juices run clear.
For the Dumplings:
Place the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the margarine. Cut the margarine until crumbly. Add the milk while stirring.
Take the broth and veggies from the cooked chicken and place in a sauce pot.
Heat the broth to simmering and spoon dumplings into the pot. Cover and let simmer for approximately fifteen minutes.
Serve the chicken broth and dumplings with the chicken.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine
