Chicken Stew & Dumplings

I got this recipe when I was in Weight Watchers after I had a baby. It's really easy to make & so yummy. It's a comfort food.


Stew:
1 lb chicken, cut up
1 diced onion
1/4 c. flour
2 cans chicken broth
2 diced potatoes
2 c. chopped carrots
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp tarragon (or your favorite herb)
2-3 chicken boullion cubes
salt & pepper

Saute chicken, garlic, & onion in a little olive oil. Add flour & mix well. Add remaining ingredients & season to taste. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low & simmer until vegetables are cooked through (about an hour). After cooked through add the dumplings.

Dumplings:
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp salt
1 c. milk
4 tsp melted butter

Stir together until it makes a soft dough. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the cooked stew. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Uncover & continue simmering for 3-5 minutes more.
