A few weeks ago, I was asked to participate in a recipe challenge using Chateau Dumplings. Chateau brand makes a variety of frozen bread and potato dumplings. Today we will be using mini-potato dumplings to make an easy and delicious chicken stew!
This post is brought to you by Chateau Foods.
Although we were making a cross-country road trip during the challenge, I had Chateau ship the potato dumplings ahead to Michigan. The Chateau Mini-Dumplings arrived at my sister-in-law’s home, frozen in the dry ice they’d been shipped with.
Possibly the real challenge was creating a worthy meal in my small hotel kitchen. Fortunately, our hotel was only a month old, and the kitchen had all the tools I needed, including a two-burner cooktop, pots and pans, a full-size refrigerator, and even a small dishwasher!

Why We Love Chicken Stew with Potato Dumplings
Our favorite meals are typically classic, comfort foods. Things like homemade macaroni and cheese or lasagna. But, we realize the importance of eating healthier, and including more vegetables into the diet.
That’s what makes this recipe ideal! It incorporates the best of both: a hearty chicken stew with an abundance of vegetables, and tasty, comforting dumplings.
Step-by-Step Preparation
Sauté onions, carrots, and celery, before adding the frozen peas, green beans, and flour.
The stew is ready and simmering while the dumplings boil.
The potato dumplings have floated to the top of the water and are almost ready to be added to the chicken stew.
And in less than 30 minutes, it’s ready to serve!
I loved how convenient it was using frozen Chateau Dumplings in this recipe. And, they were delicious. My husband and I both loved them.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty chicken stew with these sides: Bisquick Corn Bread or Drop Biscuits with 3 ingredients. For dessert, Sunken Apple Cake or Easy Apple Cobbler.
