So I have a confession to make...I've been fighting a cold the past few days so last night when it was time to make dinner I was SOOO not in the mood. I started looking through my fridge and cupboards hoping that something would magically appear before my eyes but of course as you well know that didn't happen. By then it was about 5:45 and we had some where we needed to be at 6:30 so I was seriously considering having my family eat cold cereal for dinner that night.
Then my brain started to function properly and I remembered I have all this amazing food right here at my fingertips and all I have to do is scoop and dump! So I decided to make chicken and dumplings! This has always been a family favorite in our house but before THRIVE it was never this fast and easy and to be honest this good either! I love the addition of the Veloute Sauce, it is a perfect thickener as well as adding the perfect amount of seasoning, love, love, love it!
So to make a long story short we were able to have homemade Chicken and Dumplings in about 15 min and had everything cleaned up and ready to head out the door by 6:30, plus this wonderfully warm tasty meal was just what I needed for my cold and much much better than having cereal for dinner and just as fast and easy! I hope you try it soon and let me know what you think!

THRIVE Chicken & Dumplings
Ingredients:
10 cups water
1 cup THRIVE Veloute Sauce
8 -10 tsp THRIVE Chicken Bouillon
2 cups THRIVE Chopped Chicken
1 cup THRIVE Green Peas
1 cup THRIVE Sweet Corn
1/2 cup THRIVE Celery
1/2 cup THRIVE Chopped Onion
1/2 cup THRIVE Carrot Dices
Salt and Pepper to taste
Dumplings:
2 cups THRIVE Flour
1 teaspoon THRIVE Salt
Ice water
Directions:
Fill large stock pot with 10 cups water and place on stove over medium high heat. Whisk in
Veloute Sauce and Chicken Bouillon until dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil. While waiting for soup to boil prepare the dumplings.
To prepare the dumplings: Mix the flour with the salt and mound together in a mixing bowl. Beginning at the center of the mound, drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour. Using your fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl, gradually incorporate about 3/4 cup of ice water. Knead the dough and form it into ball.
Pull off a piece and drop into the simmering soup. Repeat. Gently stir motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly. Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes. ***If you aren't a fan of the larger ball type dumplings then you can roll out the dough and cut into 1in square pieces and drop those into the pot one at a time as well***
Season to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy a healthy delicious dinner made in only 15 minutes!
