I have been meaning to share my recipe for the longest while, but there is nothing like the right time. This is my vegan version of the old classic dish, ' Chicken and Dumplings. The beauty of my version is that it is vegan and gluten-free. It is easy to prepare, and the result is beyond amazing! I love to prepare stews, and I believe as a cook, that is where my strength lies, taking simple ingredients and turning them into out-of-this-world tasty recipes. Just like my all-time favorite Chickpea Stew, Lentil Stew, and Jamaican Stew Peas and Dumplings. Vegan chicken and dumplings is a hearty plant-based meal that is prepared with soy curls, veggies, vegetable broth, different spices and herbs, and dumplings! The Best Part? ● It's so easy to make! Whether you're an experienced cook or a novice, you'll find that these vegan chicken and dumplings are simple enough to make in your own kitchen. ● It tastes just as delicious as the real thing. ● Melt-in-your-mouth tender vegan chicken, creamy soup, hearty carrots, potato, and celery, a touch of herbs, and dumplings to top it all off. Ohh, so mouthwatering! ● This is a hearty stew that’s perfect for a cold winter day. ● It's super heart-warming. ● Most importantly, it does not contain any animal products like traditional chicken and dumplings. ● This dish is perfect for anyone who wants to eat less meat or eat more plant-based foods. ● It's also a great choice for anyone who's looking for a hearty meal that will leave them feeling full and satisfied. ● It is also kids friendly! You'll want to invite your friends over for this dish! It is a bit of work but totally worth it. Scroll down for the detailed recipe, but I suggest reading the complete article for useful information, some tips, and suggestions if you want to make a perfect recipe every time. What Are Soy Curls? Soy curls are a great meat substitute. They are also one of the most healthy things you can buy. Soy Curls are produced from whole soybeans, which have all of the fiber, as opposed to most meat substitute products on the market, which is made from separated soy protein or plenty of obscure components, many of which are difficult to pronounce. Soy curls have a chicken-like texture, making them one of the healthiest and most natural chicken substitutes I've ever made. Moreover, they are gluten-free. Butler Soy Curls are available for purchase straight from the company or on the internet. After rehydrating, it can be used as a chicken alternative. It is delicious with brown rice and a variety of vegetables such as bell peppers, tomatoes, and avocados. You can use your favorite vegetables as an alternative. What Kinds Of Dumplings Are There? Dumplings come in three varieties: ● Drop dumplings: Drop dumplings are bowl-made dumplings that are dropped into the stew to cook. They're fluffy and airy. ● Rolled dumplings: When you order Chicken and Dumplings from Cracker Barrel, the dumplings you get are rolled. They're dense, flat dumplings. ● Biscuit dumplings: Biscuit dumplings are prepared with canned biscuits that are quartered and put into the soup. Drop dumplings are used in this recipe. Why? After experimenting with various methods for making homemade dumplings, these drop dumplings came as the winner. They're simple to prepare, quick to cook, and quite tasty! This recipe makes homemade, fluffy dumplings that float on top of chicken broth. Vegan Chicken and Dumplings Ingredients ● Soy Curls: used Butlers Soy Curls as a vegan substitute for chicken. ● Bragg's Liquid Aminos: Made from soya bean, this sauce will fulfill the need for protein. It is a crucial ingredient in vegan recipes, and I simply love it. It is also gluten-free, so no worries there. ● Italian Seasoning: Italian seasoning is a dried herb blend that gives this stew taste as well as the aroma. ● Vegetable Oil: Any kind of vegetable oil you can use. ● Onion: The flavor of onion is slightly sweet but savory. You can use white, yellow, or red onions in this recipe. However, I like yellow onions. ● Green Onion: You get a grassy yet savory flavor by adding the green onion. If you don't have green onions, you can also use scallions. ● Garlic: It is better to use fresh garlic for a strong flavor. However, you can use frozen or even garlic powder to flavor your dish. ● Celery: Celery is a nutrient-dense vegetable. It has a salty, somewhat sour flavor when cooked. Its unusual flavor adds to the recipe’s appeal. ● Thyme, Rosemary, and Sage: are the main ingredients in this dish. Even though the protein in this recipe is plant-based, the thyme gives a nice flavor pairing with chicken. Additionally, rubbed sage makes a wonderful poultry seasoning. In fact, powdered chicken seasoning produced with the same spices would work just fine as a substitute. The herbal flavor of the stew is enhanced by the use of dried rosemary, sage, and dried thyme. ● Cayenne Pepper: It imparts a more neutral "peppery" flavor to your dish. ● Potato: Yukon gold potatoes are my favorite, but you can use Russet or whatever you have on hand. ● Carrot: Carrot is a main and tasty addition to this dish. Not only does it contribute to nutrition, but it also imparts a vibrant color to the stew. ● Vegetable Broth: You can use any broth you have on hand and even make your own with vegetable peelings. If you are not vegan, you can use beef or chicken broth for a more rich and deep flavor. You can use water if you don't have any broth on hand. ● Nutritional Yeast Flakes: Nutritional yeast has a cheesy, nutty, or savory flavor. It is a vegan source of protein, B vitamins, and trace minerals that are necessary for optimal health. ● Salt: Adding salt to the stew helps to bring the flavors together and make the dish complete. ● Dumplings: Is there anything cozier than a warm bowl of stew topped with a pillowy dumpling? Whether you cook your own dumplings from home or buy the pre-made variety, they both work just as well. How To Make Vegan Chicken And Dumplings? To prepare this vegan chicken and dumpling recipe, I rehydrate Butlers Soy Curls in hot water, then I drain the water and squeeze out as much liquid. I added seasonings and sauteed it for 5 minutes to lightly brown and seal the flavors. I then saute the vegetables and herbs; next, I add the broth and seasonings. I allowed the stew to simmer, so flavors would meld while I made the dumplings. Finally, I added the dumplings to the flavorful stew. Tips For Making Vegan Chicken and Dumplings 1. You can substitute my gluten-flour blend dumpling blend with your favorite store-bought gluten-free all-purpose flour. Add the baking powder, salt, non-dairy butter, and non-dairy milk. 2. Substitute soy curls with a favorite vegetable protein, like marinated tofu or chickpeas. 3. Substitute Bragg's Liquid Aminos for Tamari. 4. This dish is perfect for cold winter days, but you can also make it in the summer by using fresh herbs from your garden. Frequently Asked Questions: Are Chicken And Dumplings Supposed To Be Thick Or Soupy? It traditionally has a thick, rich chicken soup-like consistency with doughy dumplings on top. What Do You Serve With Chicken And Dumplings? This dinner is full and satisfying on its own. You can serve a variety of light vegetable-forward side dishes, such as broccoli, asparagus, potato wedges, and caesar salad, in addition to the main course. How Do You Store Vegan Chicken And Dumplings? Because the dumplings absorb the liquid, this is a dish that is best served immediately. If you wish to save the dish for later, refrigerate the dumplings and stew separately in airtight containers. How Do You Thicken Up Vegan Chicken And Dumplings? If you want the stew base of chicken and dumplings to be thicker, you need to do this BEFORE you add the dumplings. Put approximately one-third of the liquids into a bowl. 2 tablespoons cornstarch, whisked into the liquid, pour the smooth mixture back into the stew and whisk it in. Can I Make It Ahead? This hands-on dish is a lot of fun to make! Using these suggestions, you can save time and avoid making all the components at once. ● Vegan "chicken": You can season and saute soy curls in advance and refrigerate it for up to a week or frozen for up to 2 weeks. ● Broth: If you prefer to use homemade broth, you can make it ahead and store it for three or four days in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze it for up to a month. ● Dumplings: Refrigerate the final dough ball for approximately a week after wrapping it in plastic. Then when you are ready to eat, saute soy curls with vegetables and proceed with the recipe as directed above. What's The Key To Making Delicious Dumplings? Mix the ingredients until they are gently combined. Avoid using excessive amounts if your recipe calls for rolling the dumplings out with additional flour. Can I Use Store-Bought Dumplings Instead? If you want to save time, use Bisquick or another vegan-friendly dumpling mix to make the dumplings. How Do You Know When The Dumplings Are Done? If you're not sure, cut a dumpling in half to ensure the dough is fully cooked and fluffy. Are Soy Curls Healthy? Soy curls are typically seen to be beneficial to one's health. They're prepared with non-GMO, whole soybeans that haven't been treated with pesticides, preservatives, or other chemicals. Iron, protein, fiber, and potassium are all abundant in them. Despite the fact that soy curls are typically healthful, they may be flavored with oil, pepper, salt, or sugar, which reduces the product's nutritional value. Are Soy Curls The Same As Tvp? Soy curls and TVP are both meat alternatives made from soy. On the other hand, Soy curls employ the entire soybean, whereas TVP is much more processed. TVP comes in small chunks or bits, whereas soy curls are larger strips that resemble chicken strips. Are Soy Curls Like Tofu? Butler Foods is the only firm that makes soy curls, a patented meat alternative. These protein-packed strips differ from soy products such as tofu and tempeh in that they are minimally processed. What Are The Substitutes Of Soy Curls? Tofu, seitan, chickpeas, or the other vegan chicken replacement can be used instead of soy curls. Where Can I Purchase Soy Curls? Soy curls can be available in specialty stores such as Whole Foods Market, Natural Health Markets, and Sprouts. You can also buy them online. Give this recipe a try. I'm sure you're going to adore this recipe! And, don't forget to share your feedback in the comments!
