Keto Chicken and Dumplings
Transform classic comfort food with this Keto Chicken and Dumplings! Tender shredded chicken and vegetables swim in rich, herb-infused broth, topped with almond flour dumplings that'll make you forget you're eating low-carb.
Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken cooked and shredded (I use my Instant Pot, slow cooker, or grab a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store)
- 2 large carrots diced
- 3 stalks celery diced
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tbsp organic onion powder
- pink salt to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- 8 cups chicken bone broth homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 to 1 tsp xanthan gum depending on how thick you like your broth
- 1 1/2 cups Wholesome Yum almond flour
- 1/2 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped
- 1 tabsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon pink sea salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, poultry seasoning, and onion powder to the pot and stir well. Cover the pot and continue to cook the veggies over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the lid and add the bone broth, heavy cream, shredded chicken, and whisk in the xanthan gum. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce heat. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, parsley, thyme, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt, and pepper. Mix together well.
- Add in the large egg, butter, and heavy cream.
- Mix until it becomes a rough dough-like mixture. Use your hands, or a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scooper, to form the dough into 16 firm dumplings.
- Drop the dumplings into the simmering soup (making sure the soup is on low heat) and allow to cook for only 4 to 5 minutes or they will dissolve.
- Garnish with fresh thyme and/or parsley and enjoy!
