Let’s get started
Easy Keto Chicken Dumplings
2 Pounds bone-in skin on chicken thighs (about 6 thighs) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, yellow 4 stalks celery chopped 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme 3 cloves of fresh garlic chopped
2 cups chicken stock 1 stick melted butter 2 bay leaves salt and pepper 4 cup water For the Dough: 3 egg yolks 2 Cups Mozzarella cheese 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon Xantham Powder 1/2 cup of coconut flour
Ingredients
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat up a large dutch oven, add oil, once hot add the chicken and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate Now add in chopped onions, thyme, celery, garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are soft.
Add in 2 cups of chicken stock, butter and water in with the vegetables. Shred the chicken using a fork and discard the bones and add it to the dutch oven. Add the bay leaves, bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Meanwhile, start making the dough.
Take a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and microwave for a minute or two or until melted. In a separate bowl add egg yolks, baking powder, and Xantham powder and mix until well combined and smooth. Remove the melted cheese from the microwave and add the egg yolk mixture along with 1/2 cup of coconut flour and mix until thick.
Knead the dough with your hands until nice and smooth. Roll out the dough on a nonstick surface or between two greased parchment paper as big about 1/4 inch thick (don't make it too thin)
Gently cut strips of the dough and sprinkle a bit of coconut flour so the strips don't stick to one another. Add about 4 to 5 strips at a time to the hot soup mixture and cook for about 3 minutes. Serve immediately!
Double Boiler or Glass Bowl – Melt cheese on the stove with the boiler or use a glass bowl to do the same on your microwave. Parchment paper – For the rolling process of fathead dough. Dutch Oven – To cook veggies. Cutting Board – To shred chicken, use a plate instead.
Keep the dough separate because if you store the dumplings along with the soup it will become messy. Just chop all the ingredients ahead and dump in all the ingredients on the go. Heat the soup, throw the dough and cook for a few minutes before serving. You can also freeze this! Freeze the dough separately from the soup. When ready to serve, heat the soup, add in the frozen dumplings and cook for a few minutes.
Creamy – add more heavy whipping cream, sour cream, greek yogurt or cream cheese Carbs check – Try to add more green colored veggies instead of colored ones like carrots, onions or cauliflower.
Sub homemade chicken broth for the store-bought broth or Better Than Bouillon. Spicy– Toss in jalapenos, serrano peppers, poblano peppers, habanero peppers, etc.
