    2 tsp chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried

    Recipe



    Instructions:
    Cut each thigh lengthwise in 4 pieces. Mix flour, 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper on a plate. Add chicken; turn to coat. Shake off excess.

    In a large heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches, and cook 1 minute per side or until lightly browned. Remove to a plate.
    Add leek and shallots to skillet. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until soft. Return chicken; add broth, carrots, celery, cider, bay leaf, thyme, sage, and remaining salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until carrots and celery are crisp-tender. Stir in peas.


    Meanwhile make dumplings: In a medium bowl, stir flour, baking powder, and salt to mix. Stir in parsley, then milk just until blended.

    Drop 12 large spoonfuls into the simmering broth. Cook 10 minutes, cover and cook 10 minutes more or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
