Here are the ingredients for making this easy gluten-free dinner.
Gluten-Free Chicken Broth: This helps create the savory base and stew-like filling for the dish. The broth is heated with the chicken, vegetables, and seasonings at the start.
Chicken: Cooked chicken is the main protein and makes the dish hearty and filling. It’s simmered right in the broth mixture so every bite tastes rich and savory.
Frozen Mixed Vegetables: These add color, texture, and classic comfort-food flavor. They also make this gluten-free chicken and dumplings recipe feel more complete as a one-pan meal.
Gluten-Free Seasoned Salt: This adds extra flavor to the chicken mixture and helps to quickly season the broth.
Cornstarch: Cornstarch thickens the chicken mixture, turning the broth into a smooth, hearty gravy-like sauce. It’s whisked with milk until smooth before stirring in.
Gluten-Free Pancake & Baking Mix: This is the key ingredient for making the dumplings gluten free. It forms the base of the dumpling dough and lets you enjoy classic gluten-free dumplings without regular flour.
Butter: Melted butter adds richness and tenderness to the dumplings, helping them taste soft and flavorful.
Egg: The egg helps bind the dumpling dough together and gives the dumplings structure as they cook.
Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Pepper, milk, fresh parsley.
Here are the simple steps for this easy gluten-free recipe.
Bring the chicken broth, cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, and seasonings to a boil. Whisk the milk and cornstarch until completely smooth before adding it to the broth mixture, so it thickens evenly without lumps. Then, heat just to boiling after adding the cornstarch mixture to help it thicken properly without overcooking.
Use a fork and mix the dumpling dough in a separate bowl only until blended. This helps keep the dumplings tender instead of dense.
First, spoon the dough onto the boiling chicken mixture in evenly-sized spoonfuls and cook uncovered. Then, cover and cook until the dumplings are cooked through. Keep the heat low while the dumplings cook and follow the covered and uncovered timing closely for the best texture. If needed, give them a little extra time until the centers are done.
Here’s the best way to store any leftovers.
Store in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
Heat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of gluten-free broth or milk if the sauce seems too thick.
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat chicken broth, chicken, vegetables, salt, and pepper to boiling. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup milk and the cornstarch with a wire whisk until smooth; stir into the chicken mixture. Heat just to boiling.
In a small bowl, stir Dumpling ingredients with a fork until blended.
Gently drop dough by 8 rounded spoonfuls onto the boiling chicken mixture.
Cook uncovered over low heat for 10 minutes. Cover and cook 15 minutes longer or until the dumplings are cooked through.
