There’s nothing better than a large bowl of hot chicken stew with delicious, fluffy, canna-infused dumplings, on a cold winter day or night. This chicken stew is a pure comfort food!

Since I got myself a new oven a month ago, I wanted to experiment more with my dishes. I bought an oven-safe pot for my soups, and wanted to see how it works, so I ended up making this incredibly tasty chicken stew.

While I was making the stew, I realized that it can be improvised it in some way. That’s when the idea of adding canna-infused dumplings came to my mind. These fluffy dumplings added such a good flavor to the stew and made it absolutely perfect!

For Chicken Stew

6 chicken thighs with skin removed
6 cups chicken broth
1 sliced celery stalk
ground salt and pepper, use as per your preference
¼ lb. trimmed green beans cut into pieces
2/3 cup fresh or frozen green peas

For Cannabis-Infused Dumplings

2 tsp baking powder
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup milk
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 egg
4 tsp cannabutter
1 tbsp fresh dill (finely chopped)
1 tbsp fresh Italian parsley (finely chopped)

To Prepare Chicken Stew

In a large soup pot, add chicken broth, chicken thighs, carrot, celery, black pepper & salt, and cook over medium heat for 1 hr, or until chicken is done.
Note: Skim foam on top of soup, periodically.
Remove chicken from soup pot. When cool, cut meat off bones. Return meat back to pot. Add green peas & beans to the pot, and simmer for about 10 min.

To Prepare Dumplings

Add baking powder, flour, black pepper & salt, in a large bowl. Stir in milk, egg, dill, parsley & cannabutter. Mix until the dough is just combined.
Tip: Do not overwork batter. Otherwise, dumplings will become hard.
Drop batter into 8 portions, on top of stew & cover.
Cook for about 12 min, and then uncover & cook for another 10 min.
Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 - 4 days.
