Healthy Creamy Chicken with Fluffy Dumplings
Savor the comforting flavors of tender chicken simmered in a light, creamy sauce paired with delicate dumplings. This dish combines lean protein with a touch of creaminess and hearty, homemade dumplings, creating a well-balanced meal that feels indulgent yet clean.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 Egg White
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, sear the chicken breast over medium-high heat until browned on both sides, then reduce the heat and cover, cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (approximately 6-8 minutes per side).
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, add the light cream cheese and low-sodium chicken broth. Stir over medium heat until the cream cheese begins to melt, creating a light creamy sauce.
Add the baby spinach to the sauce, stirring until just wilted. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top.
For the dumplings, in a small bowl, combine whole wheat flour, egg white, baking powder, and chopped parsley. Mix until just combined; the batter should be thick but spoonable.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the chicken and sauce in the skillet. Cover and let simmer on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, ensuring the dumplings steam and cook through.
Once the dumplings are puffed up and the chicken is thoroughly heated, remove from heat. Serve the chicken topped with dumplings and extra sauce.
