A delightful twist on the classic chicken and dumplings, infused with Italian flavors and vibrant vegetables.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth and cream to a gentle boil.
Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from sticking to the pot.
Dice the red onion, bell pepper, carrot, and celery into small pieces.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking.
Place the diced vegetables and cherry tomatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes to soften.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid to retain moisture.
Add the softened vegetables and cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the poultry seasoning and cracked pepper.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed.
Drop the dumplings into the pot, spacing them evenly. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Avoid stirring to keep the dumplings intact.
Check the dumplings for doneness and serve the dish hot.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
