If you are looking for a hearty meal to make on a cold winter’s day, chicken stew with dumplings makes a perfect warming dish.

Not quite a soup and not quite a big meal, stews are easy to make and can be made from many ingredients you likely have at home already. So if you have veggies in your fridge that have seen better days, add them to a chicken or beef stew.

The below recipe for Chicken Stew from Donal Skehan has the welcome addition of cheesy dumplings :).
