Chicken Stew with Scallion Dumplings

Make stew. In a shallow pan, combine flour, salt, and ground pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place cut chicken pieces on a sheet pan. Season with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder mixture. Lightly dredge seasoned chicken in the flour. Shake off excess flour and place chicken on a sheet pan. Set aside the excess flour.

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once oil is hot, add chicken a few pieces at a time and brown on all sides. Remove browned chicken and place on a platter. Repeat until all chicken is browned. 

Reduce heat to medium and add celery, onions, and carrots to the Dutch oven. Sauté about 3–5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Whisk in the excess flour until blended. Slowly add in chicken stock, stirring constantly. Once combined, add in ginger, lemongrass, vinegar, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Return browned chicken to the Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer on low for 35–45 minutes or until chicken is done at 165°F.

Remove chicken from pan and place in a shallow bowl to cool. Remove and discard bay leaves, ginger, and lemongrass. Once chicken is cool enough to handle, use your fingers or two forks to remove chicken from the bones and shred, discarding skin if desired. Return shredded chicken to the Dutch oven and continue to simmer. 

Make dumplings. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, chopped scallions, and salt. In another bowl, blend milk and butter together. Slowly stir milk mixture into flour mixture. Mixture should form a sticky dough.  

Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop dumplings one at a time on top of the simmering stew. Cover and cook for 18–20 minutes until dumplings are done. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Caribbean-Style Chicken Curry Stew with Roti Wraps

Prepare chicken. Chop garlic finely. Combine yogurt, garlic, curry powder, turmeric, and cumin in large bowl or dish; whisk to blend. Season chicken with salt; add to yogurt mixture and turn to coat well (wash hands). Cover and chill 4 hours (or overnight). 

Prepare stew. Chop onions finely (about 2 cups). Chop garlic and habaneros finely (about 1 tablespoon each). Peel potatoes and taro roots and cut into 1-inch cubes (2 cups each). Remove chicken from yogurt mixture; scrape most of yogurt mixture off, then cut chicken into bite-size pieces (wash hands).

Preheat large Dutch oven on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Add oil and onions; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in garlic, habaneros, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and salt; cook 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously, until thick paste forms. Add chicken; cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Stir in stock, coconut milk, potatoes, and taro. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.

Simmer 60–90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and taro are fork-tender and chicken is 165°F (mixture will thicken as it sits). Prepare roti wraps during last 45 minutes of cook time. Chop cilantro; stir into curry when ready to serve.

Prepare roti wraps. Combine flour, salt, yeast, and baking powder in large bowl. Knead in water ¼ cup at a time until dough forms, adding more water as needed. Cover and let rest 30 minutes in warm place.

Dust work surface with flour. Place dough on work surface, knead 1 minute, and divide into 6 even balls. Flatten balls into discs, then roll out to 10-inch wide, 1/4-inch-thick circles (add more flour if needed to prevent sticking).

Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Dust any remaining flour off wraps. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan. Place 1 wrap in pan; cook 1–2 minutes on each side, until browned and bubbles begin to appear. Remove and keep warm; repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.
