Ingredients:

Serving

4 lbs skinless chicken pieces
4 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp marjoram
2 large celery ribs, cut in 1-inch pieces
4 carrots, peeled and cut in 1-inch pieces
1 onion, sliced
2 cups kale, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cold butter
2/3 cup nonfat milk

Directions:

Combine chicken parts, chicken broth and seasonings in a dutch oven and bring to a simmer.
Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Skim off any fat floating on the broth, turn the chicken pieces, and add the celery, carrots, and onion.
Cover and simmer another 15 minutes.
Stir in the kale and adjust the seasoning.
For the dumplings: Toss together the dry ingredients.
Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips.
Stir in the milk and mix with a fork until it all comes together. Add extra milk if it seems too dry.
Drop tablespoons of the dough over the top of the chicken and veggies. You may need to do this in 2 batches, depending how wide your dutch oven is. Keep the first batch warm while you cook the second.
Cover and cook about 10 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through.
