Directions: Chicken And Leek Casserole With Tarragon Dumplings Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • STEP 2.In a large ovenproof casserole dish, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the dish and set aside.
  • STEP 3.In the same dish, add the leeks, carrots, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
  • STEP 4.Return the chicken to the dish and add the chicken stock, cream, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • STEP 5.Cover the dish with a lid or foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • STEP 6.Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and chopped tarragon. Add the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • STEP 7.Gradually add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into dumplings.
  • STEP 8.After the chicken has cooked for 1 hour, remove the dish from the oven and place the dumplings on top of the casserole. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the dumplings are golden and cooked through.
  • STEP 9.Serve the chicken and leek casserole with tarragon dumplings hot, garnished with fresh tarragon leaves.

Cooking Tips

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the casserole before baking.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the casserole before adding the dumplings.
  • Make sure to use fresh tarragon for the best flavor. Dried tarragon can be used as a substitute, but the flavor won't be as vibrant.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the casserole in the oven or on the stovetop until heated through.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
