Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon regular salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill or 3/4 teaspoon dried dillweed
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup milk
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup sliced leeks or chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 teaspoon snipped fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dillweed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half or light cream

Directions

In a large saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until chicken is browned and no longer pink. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken from saucepan; set aside. Drain fat from saucepan.
Meanwhile, for dumplings, in a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup flour, the baking powder and half of the salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chives and the 2 teaspoons dill. Add yogurt and milk, stirring just until moistened; set aside.
In the same saucepan, combine chicken broth, leeks, carrots, frozen corn, the 1 teaspoon dill and the remaining salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Drop dumpling batter into simmering liquid, making 8 mounds. Return to a gentle boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into dumplings comes out clean. Do not lift lid while simmering. With a slotted spoon, transfer dumplings to a platter.
Stir chicken into mixture in saucepan. Stir the 2 tablespoons flour into half-and-half; stir into the mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more.
To serve, ladle chicken mixture into 4 soup bowls. Top each serving with two dumplings. Makes 4 servings.
