Creamy Chicken & Dumplings

BlixSam Style – inspired by the creamy winter comfort dish in the image.

Serves 4–6

Rich, creamy chicken with soft fluffy dumplings and winter vegetables — the kind of meal that warms the whole house while it cooks. 🇿🇦❄️🔥

🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken Stew

1kg chicken breast or boneless thighs, cubed
2 tablespoons oil
2 onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 carrots, diced
1 cup peas
1 cup green beans, sliced
½ cup corn kernels
2 tablespoons BlixSam Brêckie
1 tablespoon BlixSam Arm Maat
1 teaspoon BlixSam Garlic Melt
1 teaspoon BlixSam Lemon Leaf
3 tablespoons flour
750ml chicken stock
250ml fresh cream
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Dumplings

2 cups self-raising flour
1 teaspoon BlixSam Arm Maat
50g butter
¾ cup milk

👨‍🍳 Method

1️⃣ Build the Flavour Foundation

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven.

Add the onions and garlic.

Sprinkle in:

BlixSam Brêckie
BlixSam Arm Maat
BlixSam Garlic Melt
BlixSam Lemon Leaf

Allow the spices to bloom in the oil and onions for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

2️⃣ Brown the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.

Add the carrots and green beans and cook for another 3 minutes.

3️⃣ Create the Creamy Sauce

Sprinkle over the flour and stir well.

Slowly add the chicken stock while stirring continuously.

Add:

Peas
Corn
Cream

Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the sauce becomes rich and creamy.

4️⃣ Make the Dumplings

In a bowl combine:

Self-raising flour
BlixSam Arm Maat
Butter

Rub together until crumbly.

Add the milk and mix until a soft dough forms.

Do not overmix.

5️⃣ Cook the Dumplings

Drop spoonfuls of dough directly onto the simmering chicken mixture.

Cover with a lid and cook gently for 15-20 minutes.

Do not lift the lid while the dumplings are steaming.

6️⃣ Serve

The dumplings should be light and fluffy while the chicken stew is creamy and rich.

Serve hot in bowls exactly like the image — creamy sauce, tender chicken, colourful vegetables and soft dumplings floating on top.
