Chicken and Dumpling for a Chilly Night

Today, after much debate... no, not really... I went ahead and made some chicken and dumplings. The recipe is fairly easy, and is as always safe for those with allergies. I used basic ingredients and basically prepared everything from scratch. The recipe is adapted from my Boyfriend's Mother, whom relayed to me that she took from elsewhere.

Chicken Stew,

1. Season the chicken with some onion powder, salt and pepper. 
2. Lightly coat them with flour brown with olive oil. 
3. Add carrots, celery, potatoes and bak choy. The veggies can be to your liking; I particularly like these.

5. let simmer for about an hour.

I like it! I like it a lot!

Enjoy,
