Directions
  1. 1
    Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper.
  3. 3
    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, shallots, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add the bay leaf and fresh thyme. Stir in the seasoned flour mixture and cook for 1 minute to thicken slightly.
  5. 5
    Pour in the chicken broth and apple juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add the chicken and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
  6. 6
    Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and minced parsley.
  7. 7
    Stir the low-fat milk into the dry dumpling ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  8. 8
    Add the thawed green peas to the pot with the chicken. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth.
  9. 9
    Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the broth is thickened.
