Gluten free chicken stew and dumplings recipe (dairy free low FODMAP)
My gluten free chicken stew and dumplings recipe using my Pressure King Pro. The dumplings are to die for!
Servings 2
Ingredients
For the stew
- 3 chicken thighs skin on with the bone
- 240g new potatoes halved
- 240g chantenay carrots or standard carrots chopped
- 240g butternut squash chopped
- 800ml chicken stock if low FODMAP ensure your stock is! Make your own or use a low FODMAP stock
- 3 bay leaves
- fresh thyme
- salt & pepper
- a little oil if browning the chicken first
For the dumplings
- 125g gluten free self raising flour
- 70g dairy free hard margarine cold and chopped
- 2 tbsp dried herbs I used a mix of thyme, rosemary and sage
- 75ml water
Instructions
- (This first step is optional & only necessary if you have the time!) Press the browning function and add your oil. Add your chicken thighs and cook for 3 minutes on each side until they start to colour. You don't need to put the lid on for this. Once done press cancel.
- Next add all your veggies (potatoes, carrots and squash in my case - you could use different root veg if you prefer).
- Pour in your chicken stock, add bay leaves, a few sprigs of fresh thyme and season with salt & pepper.
- Put your lid on, close the pressure release valve and press stew. Stew for 25 minutes.
- Whilst your stew is on, make your gluten free dumplings. Rub your dairy free margarine into your flour until it becomes almost breadcrumb like.
- Add your dried herbs to the mixture.
- Next add your water and mix together to form a dough. Cover your hands in a little gluten free flour and bring the dough together and make balls just slightly smaller than dumpling size (they will swell up a bit).
- Once 25 minutes stewing is up press cancel. Open the pressure release valve (with oven gloves on!) and remove the lid. Add your dumplings to the stew evenly on top. Put the lid back on, close the pressure valve and press stew for a final 5 minutes.
- The stew should now be ready so again, open the pressure valve to release any steam, remove the lid and serve up into bowls.
- Enjoy!
Notes
* We usually just eat our stew like this, you could add some greens on the side to go with it if you'd like.
* If you like a slightly thicker stew you can add a little flour mixed with water to the stew before you shut the lid. (I tend to use corn flour but any gluten free flour will help)
* the dumplings are a recipe by themselves. If you wish to cook them within a stew not made in a Pressure King Pro, I would recommend adding them to the stew 20 minutes before the end of cooking as they would need about 20 minutes to cook without the pressure.
