Directions: |
Directions:Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thighs 6 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Chicken may not completely cook through, but will finish cooking when returned to broth. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; cut into bite size pieces, and set aside. Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery and carrots, and sauté 3 minutes. Stir in broth and next 3 ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Whisk together cream and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into simmering broth. Cut biscuits into quarters and dredge pieces in flour, shaking off excess. Add biscuits to broth, cook partially covered, 3 minutes on each side or until biscuits are firm to the touch. Biscuits will continue to cook. Add chicken, lemon juice and chives to broth; simmer until chicken is heated through. Season with additional sea salt and pepper, if desired. *I use a whole can of Grands biscuits and cook the final product at least 15 minutes longer on low heat to cook the dumplings and meld the ingredients together. |
