Ingredients
Dumplings
2eggs
1ouncecream cheese
1/4teaspoonherbes de provence
1/4teaspoonvital wheat gluten
Chicken
1teaspoonolive oil
1poundchicken breast, cut in bite sized pieces - use more as desired
Blend for a minute or two until completely mixed into a thin batter.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with silpat. It's not going to fit perfectly but just push it in and up the sides.
Rub the silpat with olive oil. (I used an olive oil flavored with herbes de Provence)
Pour in the batter.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until firm and set.
Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes.
Gently remove from the baking dish and cut into squares.
Chicken
Put a little olive oil in a saute pan and heat up.
Add the onions, celery, and chicken and saute for a few minutes - just to soften the vegetables.
Pour in 1 cup of the chicken stock and turn the heat to a simmer.
Add the dumplings. Cover and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. The dumplings will puff up like balloons and it will look weird but when you take the cover off they will deflate.
Remove the cover and let the chicken stock almost boil away but don't let the pan go dry.
Meanwhile, add the 1/2 cup chicken stock, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 ounce of cream cheese to a microwave safe dish.
Microwave for 1 minute.
Whisk until smooth.
Pour the cream mixture into the pan.
Add the butter and herbes de Provence.
Stir and let simmer, stirring occasionally.
Simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened. This can take 10 minutes or more. Just don't let it go completely dry.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
