Recipe of Classic Chicken and Dumplings
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tbsps vegetable oil 1 onion, finely chopped 2 carrots, diced 2 celery stalks, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 6 cups chicken broth 2 bay leaves 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup whole milk 2 tbsps all-purpose flour salt and pepper to taste For The Dumplings: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ½ tsp dried thyme ½ cup whole milk 2 tbsps melted butter Instructions: In your SENSARTE Nonstick Deep Frying Pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook them until they are browned on both sides. This should take about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set it aside. In the same pan, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté them for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Return the chicken to the pan and add the chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. While the chicken is simmering, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and dried thyme. Add the milk and melted butter, and stir until a thick dough forms. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the pan and let it cook for 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through. Remove the bay leaves and discard them. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through. In a separate SENSARTE Nonstick Sauce Pan, combine the whole milk and flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Pour the roux into the chicken and dumplings mixture. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve and enjoy!

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the bisque thickens. If using white wine, pour it into the bisque and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off. Carefully transfer the bisque to a blender and blend until it's smooth.
