This seemingly rich comfort food (just like mom used to make) is a satisfying, healthy version of the traditional version which was so much higher in fat.
1 1/4 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces 1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste 1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp table salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 2 tsp vegetable oil 4 medium leek(s), white and light green parts only), thinly sliced 4 medium shallot(s), thinly sliced 2 medium carrot(s), sliced into thin rounds 2 medium celery, stalks, sliced 1 piece bay leaf 1 tsp thyme 2 1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour 2 Tbsp uncooked cornmeal 3/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp table salt 1 1/2 tsp parsley, minced 1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk 1/2 cup apple juice 1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed
Season chicken with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Mix flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle chicken with 1 tablespoon of seasoned flour. In a large skillet, heat oil and lightly brown chicken. Remove from pan.
In the same skillet, sauté leeks and shallots until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add carrots, celery, bay leaf and thyme and cook another 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon of seasoned flour and it cook until it begins to color, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and apple juice. Return chicken to pot. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile to make dumplings, sift 2 tablespoons flour, cornmeal, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt together into a bowl. Stir in parsley. With a fork, stir in milk until dough just comes together. Drop dumpling mixture with a teaspoon into chicken mixture. Simmer, covered, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add peas, and cook until dumplings are done, another 2 to 4 minutes.
Serve in six 1-cup portions.
