For the Dumplings:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for improved texture)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:

For the Chicken Stew:

  1. Place the chicken thighs, diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, minced garlic, chicken broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper in the slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for about 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of almond flour and cook for a minute or two to create a roux. Pour the roux into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, stir, and let the stew continue to cook on low while you prepare the dumplings.

For the Dumplings:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and almond milk.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the stew in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and continue to cook on low for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the dumplings are cooked through and no longer doughy in the center.
